Boo has been asking if we could go see the movie Daddy's Home so we thought it was a good day after Christmas thing to do. He and his step brother Carson got new phones for Christmas so now they can communicate and they decided they wanted to go to a Kendama Store to spend their Christmas money & Mimi & Papa could take them when we went to the movies. So we agreed and drove 40 extra miles to get Carson at his Dad's and 80 miles round trip to go to the Kendama Store. They spent their money, we went to the movies, I even got a little shopping in. We went to dinner and they decided they wanted to spend the night together. They text and called their moms and their dads, multiple times (like over and over and over) . They whined, they got rejected, they text. All I can say is a really wonderful day turned into a very frustrating ride home listening to them trying to get their way and failing, feeling bad for them and what they have to go through and appreciating dropping them off and going home alone. One more reason it may not be a great idea for nine year olds to have cell phones. And one more reason I appreciate being the Mimi, not the Momma.
and one more reason I'm happy we have one years olds.
