Friggin' Kids !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (again)

[Dr Honda]

So...

I drag the skis home from my shop on Thusday, and get them all ready to go out for the first time this year. But, as I'm packing up to leave, my oldest comes down in the garage... CRYING that her stomach hurts, and we can't go. But... then an hour later... she want's ice cream and other crap, and wants to know if we can still go. :banghead: By that time, I took the skis off the truck, and started on a household project.

It's 80 degrees out. I should have just gone by myself. I'm going to try again tomorrow... and if she does this again... I'm going anyway.

Sorry for the rant.

Tony,

I can't believe this I am actually in the position to give you advise, and maybe at least a little consolation. My wife and I raised three boys, which I believe in at least the emotion department are a hell of a lot easier than girls. But you will find as your kids get older there will be less and less they will want to do with the old man. But don't worry this will all blow over in 18-20 years.

Also being that you have girls aka "drama queens" will only intensify, you know what we say about women in general, can't live with em, can't kill em.

I sincerely hope that this has been a help to you. :reddevil:

Tony; It will only get more complicated as they grow. My oldest called me this afternoon and said "Dad, If you are going to put the boat in you better get it done, I have things to do!" Then the youngest calls and says "Dad, Is my SeaDoo ready to go, my buddies are coming over on Sunday!". The boat is in the slip and my ole' 96 XP is on the trailer ready to go and Junior's is still in storage!! One last rant; When I was 16 I thought my parents were the dumbest people in the world, when I turned 21 I could not believe what they had learned!!! Semper Fi!!!

My boys are 25,21 and 19. They'll ask to go out riding so I mistakenly think it's a family day and load up the 5 ski's. My wife,boys and I get to the water only to find out the boys have invited 15+ friends. While I don't mind it sometimes it does get old. I've even had my wife do the something with her friends so a lot of times I just go by myself. Funny how you acquire all these friends when the toys come out but never see them any other time.

Thanks... and I know. I guess it was just a vent because I wanted to go, but she was sick. (all of the sudden) Then... after I put everything back, and started a project... she wanted to go.

The other thing is... she does have a nervous stomach... and this does this all the time, and I just get tired of it sometimes. If she would relax... it would be fine. We thought she had an ulcer... but they checked her for it.

Like I was saying... just a vent, because I wouldn't say things like this to the kids.

Finally... the big Islandia project is really for the kids and wife. So, I do love them, and try to keep them happy.

Grizz: I'm not sure of the situation... but it sounds like I need to extend my condolences.

At the bottom of the thread there is a "similar thread" top 3
"blow up the kids by Dr Honda
Friggin' Kids !!!!!!!!! by Dr Honda
Friggin' winter by ..... Guess who

LOL

 

[Dr Honda]

Yep...

Typing is the safest way I know to vent.

Just an FYI... the "Blow up the kids" thread is funny. (not a vent) And I grew up in SoCal... so I hate Pittsburgh winters.

And... in my defense... this thread does say "Again" right in the topic.

damn i wish my dad came out to do things with me like what you guys do with your kids.... I'm 23 and youngest of 2 but my dad he's told old to do things now, considering he's 70! (we do go hunting though)

 

[crisso]

Or the other saying about woman is,,,,,,,,Cant live with them.,,,thats it

 

[crisso]

Doc.!
There is not a thing you can do about when girls/ladies want/or dont want to go out in a boat and get wet.Sometimes they feel uneasy about going out in a boat.It may be a thing that we,as males dont experience.Do you get my drift?It may not be that.But this is only as I have found it.Cheers mate

Fully understand... and that's why I vent here. (lol) BUT.... There is a part 2 to this. I will be posting it shortly.

Ronsse610: I was in the same "Boat" when I was young. I loved to go to the river with my buddies, and run jetski's, and ride dirt bikes. My folks have no interest in any of that. I remember one time, I thought that my dad was going to get into riding dirt with me... but he fell on the second trip, and never came out again. Then... my mom came out when I was racing MX, and she watched a kid ball up his dirtbike and bust his leg. She told me that she wouldn't stop me from riding... but she wasn't coming out to watch anymore either.

With that said... I can get my mom to come out to the lake if my dad is on a Biz trip. (I'm now 40, and she is 67) FYI... I took this pic of me and my mom... and after I looked at it... I realized that my nephew dumped my XP directly behind us. (lol)
