I am just in awe right now, im not sure really how to think and NOT be mad. Monday night a coworker of my husbands asked him if we would watch their 2 kids while they went on a small lil mommy daddy time till thursday morning, we said sure, they even paid us 200 bux, we said SWEET!!! They told us oh they sleep all through teh night and listen very well.
ok, so my hubby picked em up after work tuesday morning, brought them ot our house and the fun was about to begin. We ourselves have 3 kids and 10 wks pregnant w number 4 we thought oh this will be fine, NOT!!!!!!!!! Tueday most of the day all we heard was talking back, told what WE were goin to do and how my DD (whos a lil older then the lil girl) is stupid and boring casue she didnt want to play the same games as she did, and thought it would be fun to push her lil sister around and insist this is how mommy lets her do it at home. We made her sit in the corner and told her over and over WE are the adults YOU listen. By time dinner time came around, she had torn EVERY toy out of the play room, my daughters room and even tore 3 of my daughters play dresses up, and that was AFTER my DD cleaned up her first mess, she told my DD she was too clean, and was goin to make a mess if she wants. After cleaning up her mess while making her sit in the corner, we decided to take em to BK to play and eat to burn the energy so theyd be all ready for bed, that went farely well shockingly, till we got back home to do jammies oh the fit she threw AGAIN. We finally got em all in bed and almost asleep, when she then decides to wake her 14 month old sister, YA, NOT happy!!! needless to say i got no sleep night 1.
Wednesday came and they both did realyl well, besides the fact the lil baby cries ALL the time for NOTHING, which im not shocked i mean she is a baby, but its jsut sad cause my hubby brought to my attention, the lil girl doesnt smile, doesnt giggle, doesnt do ANYTHING, she just cries, and her big sister then says she always cries, my mommy is always mad about it. OO K then. Night time came and YET again, she woke her sister up every few hours since she cant sleep, she thinks no one should sleep, that was AFTER i put her in a different room. UGH. so needless to say night 2, sleep 0!!
Brings me to this morning, i get my door slammed open and her standing in my room saying I WANT A DOUGHNUT, its 6 in the morning lil girl, go lay down everyone else is. She walks out to stand in the hallway to wake everyone else screaming OH MY I THINK MY SISTERS POOPIE, GET HER NOW..... i got up changed her sister laid her back down and went to lay back down since i got everyone else back down, she then AGAIN, screams, I SAID I WAS HUNGRY GET ME A DOUGHNUT NOW!! oh lord i was livid, so i took her by the arm put her on the couch and said you get up one more time and scream, you will be stuck in the bedroom till your mom and dad get here. THINKING mom and dad was goin to be here at like noonish, like they said...WRONG!!!!!!!!! We finally got ahold of them after realizing, they only had tried calling 2 times over the 3 days theyve been here now, and never leaving a messege and never after we called them multiple times for the girls to say good night, how odd isnt it?? They wont even be here till 5pm tonight, UH HELLO!! oh and not to mention they didnt ask to speak to the girls once, it was a hey we'll call you round 5ish when we're on our way k, bye...
Im a lil weirded out by the fact when i leave me kids w someone even for a night, i call at least 2 times to make sure they are doing fine and to talk to them, cause i hate to think my kids may be troubling another adult if they sometimes do it to me, and to make sure they know im thinking of them before they go to bed, ya know a normal motherly thing. NOTHING from either of the parents, i got a facebook messege thats about it and it didnt ask how they were it was asking if i was goin crazy w 5 kids yet. UH IS THAT NORMAL? And then it gets me thinking about what the lil girl says about how mommy gets mad at the baby for crying all the time, now i have a 19 month old son, and he smiles, babbles w small words, giggles, and everything w others, he will even play on his own, but this lil girl just does nothing bug cry, over everything thats nothing. ODD,. I hate to judge another mother but this just makes me sit and think HMMMM whats really goin on in this house, what mother doesnt think to talk to their kids even after a few days? and yes i am a bit peeved that i wasnt asked when was a good time today or by noon like i was told, it felt liek well i paid you 200 bux so you have em till i say you have em.
What do you ladies think? am i just over reacting and need to just suck it up or is there something wrong w this entire picture??
::::Im not claiming to be the greatest mom who knows all, not one bit, i mean i have my flaws, but all this does make me feel proud i taught my kids manners and please and thanks to everyone they meet, and never to talk back to an adult w/out expecting consequences. it just makes me wonder more y is there no law being passed that you need to take tests before being allowed to procreate??::::

lol sane?? whats that?? i think i lost that YRS ago lol. I just dont like being lied to i mean if your child is a pain say hey she can be a pain sometimes then i can be more prepared, but to say oh their both great and easy, well thats just false advertisment lol. i at lesat let people know hey my kids been ap in lately so if they get outta hand call me or give them some kind of instruction or let them deal how they feel right. and its ok to have time away from the kids but idk to me its just wrong to pretend if their not there we dont have to deal w em, i dont care if my kids were w supernanny id still be calling and letting them know i still loved them or something. its just all wrong in so many ways, and on top of it all if the person who has my kids caleld me mulitple times in a row id think uh oh is everything ok, but they didnt, i mean what if they were hurt and we needed info?? my hubby asked for their medical info just in case and all they told him was well we have the same medical as you just take em to teh er itll be fine, UH WHAT??? lol i hate being so nice grrr lol
All children are different, maybe they were just reacting to being in a different environment, have they ever stayed with you before? I definately find it weird though that the parents never asked to talk to the children! Wouldn't say it makes them bad parents though, perhaps they were just enjoying the break a bit too much? :-)
Oh ya we've had the oldest girl before, but she was a lil younger so we was a lil better, but the lil one never before over night, just over to our house many times, so its not like we're strangers to em. I dont say theyre bad parents, cause like i said i dont know what goes on behind closed doors, i just find it odd, too much fun or not, if someone calls you multiple times and you dont call back, in 2 differetn days, its just a lil odd is all. Its not like we're family or anything theres time away from your kids which they get ALOT cause his family used to live near them till they recently told them they wouldnt watch the kids anymore cause they have em so much hince y we had them, but a return call would be nice or asking how your own kids are after 2 days would be nice.......

I have to ask what is RIGHT with this picture? It's amazing you are still sane!!! My kids are old enough now where I don't call if I'm only going to be gone a few hours, otherwise it opens it up for each of them (4) will take a turn every five minutes or so to call and ask stupid questions (ie can we change the channel?") But when they were smaller, I could be gone 3 or 4 hours and called 6 times!! And if this is the way those kids behave at home, its no wonder mom & dad needed to get away! But where is the parenting coming in?
