Families

I told you in an earlier post about the children next door and since their had started to school I would not have to referee so many disputes while their parents were gone.
This man who lives next door is my son's wife off spring. The children are his wives children ages 7 and 9, boys to boot.
Well I was so happy to soon another problem has came to visit, the son has A CHILD BY A PREVIOUS MARRIAGE, 16 YEARS OLD. My son and his wife think this boy is great but he is a real bad act. When the parents are working James picks on the 2 younger children. He has locked them out of the home this summer and the boys have came knocking on my door for help. Anything he can do to these children he does!
At 4 o'clock there was a knock on my back door. When I went to the door there stood the 7 year old. He said grandma James has my school paper and wont give it back. I didn't want to walk over and talk to James, truth is I would like to take a ball bat to his head.
I said go over and tell James to come to the door. The child ran to his door and said James you have to come to the door. I could here James arguing. He didn't want to come to the door. The 7 year old said YOU HAVE TOO.
James appeared on the porch and the 7 year old already has his paper in his hand. I said the boy said you had his paper and wouldn't give it back to him. James said it is a note from his teacher and I took it to give to mom. I said it's his note let him give it to his mother. James said ok. Sugar wouldn't melt in the little gangsters mouth.
I have decided the next time the children come over and have a problem with James I am going to call my son and have him come over and take care of the grandson. I don't care if I have to get him out of bed to do it.
We always pay for our sins.

I am glad you are there to watch over the little ones. I know it is
tiring but they know they can count on you.

Ah, the trials and tribulations of raising children . . . or being the stand-in caregiver when the parents are gone.

You are earning some stars in your crown, Patsy.

Who knows, maybe the little gangster has met his match in you!

I can't believe that they parents are allowed to leave children under sixteen on their own whilst they are out at work.

You really do not need all this hastle - you are supposed to be retired and enjoying your rest and pleasing yourself. My goodness you have earnt it after the all the years spent working and raising your own brood.

well I agree with Allotment Lady there, you should be calling his parents and letting them sort it out, I feel sorry for the younger ones though
