I Am Mean

lghorton

My grandsons call me "Mean Memaw." I don't care, they get good care and nutrition when I'm with them (except for the occasional trip to the chocolate fountain at Golden Coral.) Everything in moderation.

Cheers to you "mean" grandpa and keep it up, they will be grateful some day!

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.

What a meanie!!! Those poor kids!!

J/K, you sound like my grandpa and I turned out pretty good.

When my kiddo was 2 or 3, he called me from his grandmother's house ... gave me a bright, cheerful greeting ... then started sobbing theatrically that he missed me so much and wanted to come home right now. Yup, she made him eat all his vegetables too. :laugh:

I am pretty sure I am your biggest fan!

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

Yeah, you're probably like a 16 year old babysitter!

Bologna!

Way to be mean!

I'll never forget sending my kids up to bed after giving them "one more chance"... I said, "No more chances. Time for bed."

My son was sobbing while putting on his jammies, saying, "It works on mom."

I'm mean too!

Gosh, if THAT's mean, I'm wretched!! My kids drink mostly water and get fruit for "dessert"!! I even make them clean up their rooms and use awful, outdated words like "yes ma'am" and "please" and "thank you." Even worse, while I'm confessing ... I limit their digital time. Yes, I said it - we turn off technology and spend time together talking, walking, enjoying our yard. Is there an intervention for terrible meanies like me??

My grandpa always had ice cream in his freezer.

Unfortunately, it was always neapolitan.

this is my grandpa after I got into his Neapolitan ice cream

My grandma only offered banana splits, because she thought we needed the fruit to cancel out the ice cream.

I miss my sixteen year old knees. Appreciate them while you've got them.

This is a good way to make sure that your kids aren't living in your basement at 40

This is a *mean people are not mean at all you are just overly sensitive person asking for advice on a forum and then not wanting to take blunt advice which is probably mean but I don't like to think that" thread.

In disguise.

I wish my mom and dad were mean to my kids. It's a nightmare for 3 days after they come home from a night at Grandma and Grandpa's.

Grandpa of the year award for you. :drinker:

I'm the wicked stepmother - I recently got my first "I hate you" from my 12-year-old step-daughter for not letting her get a mahoooooosive milkshake before dinner. So proud!

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.

I Like you

Mean people rock!

How old are these kids?? My mother would beat the crap out of me for calling my grandparents mean!!

My mom's parents were also allowed to spank us. I never got spanked but my brother and I still talk about the time our Mimi spanked him.

He was also spanked by our Aunt once. He was always surprised when they did that.

My mom hasn't ever spanked my son (he's 14 now) and he loves her... has even talked about going to FL for college and living with her.

you're normal. congrats. begin slow clap.

You're my kinda of grandpa!

My g'pa was my favorite. He was tough as nails on the outside but kinda squishy inside.

One of his signature moves was to carry miniature snickers in his pocket for us.

Mommy No Fun approves.

Good work, Sad Grandpa.

If my kids were younger, I would send them right over! Good job.

I believe that if your kids don't tell you they hate you at least once in their life then you didn't do your job as a parent. I think the same rule can be applied to Grandparents :happy:
