2:21 am

sprite

good morning all. Jeezzz what a lousy size grid today. Even worse than yesterday's!

2:24 am

grannyrose

cooee. and g'day from me. morning sprite.

2:24 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello my darling, how are you doing today?

2:25 am

grannyrose

recovered from dinner last night. my goodness! we were treated to such a lovely meal.

2:25 am

grannyrose

and you, sweetie? have you had a good night?

2:26 am

sprite

how lovely! Glad you had a good time.

2:26 am

sprite

mwah, could be worse.

2:27 am

grannyrose

when you walk into a chinese restaurant, and 90% of the diners are chinese, you can bet the cuisine is 5 star.

2:27 am

sprite

oh my, indeed! Never happened to me. Sounds divine.

2:31 am

grannyrose

do you know, sprite? today's parent of young children have a lot to learn from the chinese. that restaurant was packed, small children at every table. and not one of them was running around, screaming. they all sat on their chairs and ate their meals, not a whimper from any of them. don didn't even notice that there were kids there.

2:31 am

grannyrose

do you know, sprite? today's parent of young children have a lot to learn from the chinese. that restaurant was packed, small children at every table. and not one of them was running around, screaming. they all sat on their chairs and ate their meals, not a whimper from any of them. don didn't even notice that there were kids there.

2:31 am

sprite

fireflies already :(

2:31 am

grannyrose

aagghhh, sorry!

2:32 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!

2:32 am

sprite

yeah, people could learn from that. We never allowed our children to pester other diners.

2:34 am

grannyrose

but even the babes in arms didn't cry. it was amazing. i know we had to be very strict with our kids at restaurants. but parents today just let the kids run wild.

2:35 am

sprite

that really pisses me off. There is no reason children should be a problem for other people. We could take our kids everywhere from a very young age and they were universally loved. Doesn't take great parenting skills, just a bit of common sense.

2:37 am

grannyrose

and firmness sprite. today parent are so scared of being accused of abuse, that they forget to parent along the way. kids need boundaries, lovingly AND firmly applied.

2:38 am

sprite

amen to that. Boundaries are what makes a child feel safe.

2:39 am

sprite

telling your child 'No' is not abuse. It is quite the opposite.

2:40 am

grannyrose

yes but the 'authorities' see a parent also physically restraining their kid...and hey presto!! they are accused of abuse. it's just so wrong.

2:42 am

sprite

Very. We could do most with our voices and eyes, but yeah, sometimes you have to hold them at a shoulder or arm, or pick them up and set them back onto their chair. No abuse involved indeed.

2:42 am

grannyrose

one of my kids threatened to ring the child abuse people and report me for 'abusing' him, i had smacked his heinie with the flat of my hand, once only. i gritted my teeth and told him he would have to make it to the phone first.

2:43 am

sprite

lololllll! Aren't they precious...

2:44 am

grannyrose

then i rang the police myself. they listened to what this particular child was like and then said...madam, in your case, it is justifiable discipline.'

2:46 am

sprite

very good. But I can understand why 'they' draw the line at any physical discipline. It is hard to judge the severity. One flathanded smack on the heinie never hurt a child, but it is much easier to uphold the no-physical-discipline notion than to differentiate.

2:46 am

grannyrose

strange that i never heard another word from any of my kids when i disciplined them.

2:47 am

sprite

*giggles* Poor babies, so afraid of their evil mother...

2:48 am

grannyrose

my mother always said a man should never physically punish a child as he doesn't know how to hold back...i often think of that, and think, yeah...and what about the narcissistic mother...

2:49 am

sprite

Tim had such temper tantrums as a little boy. Literally spitting mad, and endlessly. So we had to put him under a cold shower for a few seconds, 3 times in his whole life. He still remembers and claims it was child abuse. I still think it was saving him from something worse.

2:49 am

sprite

oh man, how about the splinter in their eye etc... She was something, that mother of yours :(

2:52 am

grannyrose

aww poor tim, he had to have a cold shower...for goodness sake!! my eldest has claimed one of the reasons he doesn't want to talk to me, is because i FORCED him to attend sunday school. and my response...yeah, and i FORCED you to go to regular school, take a shower daily, wear appropriate clothing, eat the food i provided...the list is endless of all the things i FORCED him to do.

2:53 am

sprite

your eldest should get over himself. He doesn't realise how blessed he was with a mother who cared enough to FORCE him to do what would benefit him.

2:56 am

sprite

I have friends with a very troubled son (only child). And I seem to be the only one who realises their lack of boundaries is to blame. Sometimes they are too tired to care, sometimes they don't want to disappoint him... and they just cannot see that is hurting the child.

2:56 am

grannyrose

oh, dear. and of course if you point out their lack of parenting skill, you become enemy number one, right?

2:59 am

sprite

mwah, she and I go wayyyy back... have been friends since we were 6. So I do have some credit. But she says herself, after the kid has pushed and pushed for 20 times, she just gives in and cannot spare the energy to hold out for longer. I told her that only means that he learns to push for 21 times in future.

3:01 am

Marjetta

We are raising our grand-daughter now. She is 3. My how some things have changed. Others, not so much. We can take her anywhere, and do. She knows how to act in public.

3:01 am

sprite

awesome, Marjetta. How come you are raising your grandchild, if it is ok to ask?

3:02 am

Marjetta

One of my children threatened to call the police, I picked up the phone and said "Here is let me dial it for you." She shut up after that.

3:03 am

Marjetta

We are raising her, because her mother can't/won't. She is too busy "finding herself" and going out with her friends.

3:03 am

sprite

hehehe good for you. Our son once complained to his teacher, who listened to the whole story and then told our son he was lucky to have parents who were willing to tell him NO.

3:04 am

Marjetta

She does come and babysit when I am working.

3:04 am

sprite

oh my. How very sad, Marjetta. Not easy on you. But at least you get all the joy from raising the child along with the work.

3:05 am

sprite

I'd say the time to go 'find yourself' has passed once you have a child. Painful, for the child too :( But a true blessing she has such great grandparents.

3:05 am

Marjetta

We have had her since the day she was born. She is wonderful. I do know why younger people have children though.

3:06 am

sprite

oh I bet! I am only 48 and I already have noticed I don't have the energy I used to have when my children were very small.

3:07 am

Marjetta

Thank you Sprite. We love her very much. We are fighting with her mother now, because she will tell us/her one thing and do another. Like she is coming to see her and then never show up. Very frustrating.

3:10 am

sprite

makes me so sad, to see/hear about parents that selfish. When in all respects their child is only an afterthought. But grandparents as you make all the difference for a child. Your granddaughter feels loved and wanted, at least.

3:11 am

Marjetta

I keep wondering where I messed up with my daughter to make her feel the way she does. I just can't figure it out. My other daughter is a great mom.

3:12 am

grannyrose

seems your story, marjetta is very similar to our pugs story. except it is her nephew who is the ham in the sandwich. such a pity, when biological parents, just cannot see the harm they are doing.

3:12 am

sprite

it is normal to wonder how we are to blame as parents, I think. But in the end we can only offer, and it is up to them what they take. And what they do with it. Once they are grown, they are out of our hands and whatever they do and don't is their responsibility

3:13 am

sprite

so true, rose. Am so glad that pug's nephew has a wonderful dad and great-aunt.

3:15 am

sprite

I sometimes think our whole society is to blame. It seems young people expect everything to be easy, fun and comfortable. Well, wake up notice: parenting is only 1 out of those 3. And not even all the time.

3:16 am

Marjetta

My daughter has told me that she is grown and she can make her own decisions. I told her this week, that she can do that BUT she can NOT lie to that little girl who loves her so much anymore. She got pretty mad at me.

3:17 am

sprite

well, bully her. You are so right, Marjetta. And of course she gets mad... she knows you are right.

3:17 am

Marjetta

I think that is true Sprite, she wants only the good parts of being a mom, but not the resposibility that goes with it.

3:18 am

Marjetta

Maybe one day she will grow up. I can only hope.

3:18 am

sprite

will remember her and your granddaughter in my thoughts and prayers, if that is ok, Marjetta.

3:19 am

Marjetta

Thank you.

3:20 am

Marjetta

Sorry I killed your conversation. Thank you for letting me vent.

3:20 am

sprite

you didn't kill it at all, you participated. And we are glad you do.

3:20 am

grannyrose

your welcome, marjetta. we all need to do it ...

3:23 am

sprite

my love and I have always said, parenting our children is the most important job in our lives, and yes, it IS a job. On call 24/7 and with the most precious thing in the balance all the time. A rollercoaster ride, with amazing thrills and very scary low points. But worth it, all the way.

3:24 am

sprite

sidenote: I don't really mind myself trying to enter words like 'iffter'. But jeezzz, after I had fireworks... that IS kinda stupid.

3:25 am

Marjetta

Oh you are right it is so worth it. My husband and I have 6 girls between us. This is the 7th. I would do it all again in a heart beat.

3:26 am

sprite

awesome, Marjetta :)

3:37 am

sprite

oh rose, did you see that 'we' won the consolation finals for soccer? 3rd place. My husband was rather happy, grin.

3:38 am

grannyrose

yes, sprite...i bet he was happy.

3:38 am

Marjetta

FW and I am off to bed. Thank you again for listening.

3:39 am

sprite

and so am I, to be honest. Things are so much quieter now in the neighbourhood. With my noise allergy, it isn't fun when they all go crazy for hours on end, lol.

3:39 am

grannyrose

hope you have sweet dreams, marjetta.

3:39 am

sprite

wtg Marjetta! Sleep well and I was happy you joined in. Hope to talk to you more often!

3:39 am

Marjetta

Thank you Rose, you too.

3:40 am

Marjetta

Me too Sprite. And thank you.

3:56 am

Kazzer99

yeah - i look forward to a nice juicy grid on a Sunday as its the only day when I have time to linger over it. Rest of the week is far too hectic!

3:56 am

grannyrose

yay you mel. good job

3:57 am

sprite

mel, what are the pain meds for?

3:58 am

sprite

I like big grids in the weekends as well. Or really twisty small ones, if they have to be small. Today's didn't qualify.

3:58 am

well saying I have loads of time - I must be off to examine the inside of the washing machine. I have had a spell of mega housework and I only have 1 load of washing left apart from the gear we are wearing

3:59 am

meliae

Another biopsy this time in my belly button, not skin cancer this time just a scare :)

3:59 am

lollll Kazz... off to Mt. Washmore then.

3:59 am

zoozzoom

Happy washing, Kazzer!

3:59 am

sprite

oh mel, am glad it isn't bad! *hugs* Painful place, the belly button, though.

4:00 am

Kazzer99

Exactly Sprite - but fortunately no ironing - don't do unless absolutely necessary

4:00 am

zoozzoom

Just checked it is an expert. Don't mind those. Find the mediums harder to complete than an expert..lol

4:00 am

Kazzer99

Byeeee

4:00 am

grannyrose

*hands mel my pain meds* here sweetie, i don't need them much any more. you have them...

4:03 am

grannyrose

yep, it surely is, sprite...lolol. poor mel...i know, hun. have just spent nearly 6 months watching the clock. and my brain was absolute mush.

4:03 am

meliae

Never ever ever get a biopsy in your belly button I would almost take surgery on my arm or leg again over this one lol. And lol @ Zoos

4:04 am

sprite

I bet, mel. Such a painful place. *gentle healing vibes your way*

4:04 am

grannyrose

oh, no you wouldn't, mel...not the knee....anywhere else is easy-peasy.

4:05 am

grannyrose

mel, i am not belittling what you are going through, dear. i'm sorry if i sound condescending. of course what you are going through is painful.

4:05 am

meliae

I asked the dermatologist how the heck do you get carcinoma in your belly button, he said same as your arm and leg.......too much Sun!

4:06 am

sprite

lololllll do you have an outie?

4:06 am

meliae

4:10 am

sprite

4:10 am

meliae

But on the bright side I finally have use of that arm the muscle finally healed.

4:10 am

grannyrose

oh, my...i have to tell you. one of the elderly ladies came to church, wearing a kilt and cardigan, and the red lipstick. i took one look at her and had to suppress my giggles. later i was talking to our deacon's wife...and she said...when they went around to visit her, they were waiting for the corgis to crawl out from under the couch. she is a dead-ringer for QE the second.

4:11 am

Someone once said to me that I should memorise as much poetry as I could then when old age catches up with you and people think you aren't worth talking to then you can recite all the poems in your head. Sad thought but worth thinking about.

I have fireworks by the way so I am just hanging around to chat
