I Am Mean

Sad_Grandpa

I was watching a few of my grandkids this weekend. They wanted to eat leftover Easter candy for lunch, but I insisted that a balanced meal would be more appropriate. So they called me mean.

Later on, I made them go outside and play instead of sitting around watching yubetube all day because exercise is good for you. More complaints of meanness.

At dinnertime I made them eat all their vegetables. You should have heard the howling. I am the meanest grandpa in the world.

Now after they ate all the vegetables, I let them have some ice cream. Because sometimes I'm an old softie.

But then it was bedtime, and back to being the Earl of Mean. "We aren't tired!!" they complained. Well tough cookies, because sleep is important, especially for kids. So I read 'em a story and tucked them in.

I am a meanie. And darn proud of it.

I had the meanest parents in the world. And I followed suit.

And you just made me miss my grandfather.

When they grow up they'll tell their children about how much fun you were and reminisce about how much they loved going outside to play instead of direct fusing with the mainframe through a cord in their brains.

This is true. Because I do this about my grandparents a lot. I guess they were "mean" too. God bless them for it.

I get this too Grandpa. Not only am I "mean", I " don't care about him".

You old people and your old way of doing things.

My kids "hate" me. I'm the worst mother in the world because i made them clean their bedroom. I videotaped the tantrum.

oregonzoo

these wil be fond memories for them. I promise.

"mean" won't even be a word they use.

You sound like a bit of a jerk to be honest. They're children. They don't deserve this treatment.

I call balderdash.





I think not only are you not mean, you're not even a real Grandpa.

My grandpa always had ice cream in his freezer.

Unfortunately, it was always neapolitan.

Excellent work- parenting and grand-parenting isn't about making kids happy all the time; it's about making sure they grow up to be good people.

Once more, excellent meanness Grandpa (I'm also a mean Auntie for similar reasons):drinker:

A truly mean grandpa would've made them take a bath before bed!

I suddenly recall a similar conversation that my grandpa told my mom one day when she came to pick me, it sounded very much the same.

Funny how my grandpa was my favorite person in the whole world, except when he was mean.

Lol I am mean as well then! My kids are only allowed 30 minutes a day of "electronic device" time. Also, I do not allow any electronics or tv when we are eating. I want them to have memories that are going to last a lifetime and great experiences.... not worrying about beating level 600 in candy crush or mindcraft.
