Thanks guys. You have no idea how much I'd love to do that. Besides me and DHB nobody else seems to get it. DH does but he always says to stop telling him this stuff because then he gets mad and there's nothing he can do about it so I should just stay out of it. It would be really funny if I gave all our buds at the
TAGLIARCHY NP and Don's number and everbody called and unleased their wrath on them. I'd love to be a fly on the wall and see their reaction.
They honestly have no idea what jerks they are. NP is always expressing how the kids wear her out and how wild it is at their house and then she has no clue how hard it is for a 60+ year old woman to do it?
I have to tell you guys about this, this is all new stuff you've not heard before.
On my side of the family there is another NP. Only she's called scarie-Carrie. She is married to my younger bro. They have 3 kids (all boys) currently, 6, 5 and 2. Yesterday was my mom's birthday and my bro called her up and gave her the worst b-day present ever - scarie-Carrie is preggers again! Due around Thanksgiving!
Their boys are wild as they come. The oldest one is very sneaky and mischevous, the next one down is his partner in crime. These two can never be unsupervised. The two year old is not-so-bad, but the other two haven't started training him too much yet. As he gets older he will be.
The biggest difference in NP and scarie-Carrie is that when my bro or her ask my mom to watch the kids she always says NO! She tells them she works 40 hours a week and she does not have the energy to do it. So they drop the kids off at my sister's house most of the time. She struggles financially and they pay her to watch them, which is the only good thing about that. She still hates to watch them because they are soooo hard to control.
Whenever she is around my girls you can see the envy in her eyes. She is very jealous of me. She is jealous of our financial situation. Not that we are rich or even that well-off. We are comfortable and able to do things that they are not. She too is a shopaholic (like me). She's always saying things like "I only buy the boys clothes at Gymboree, the Gap or Land's End." Alot of my kids clothes come from those stores too, but I also buy things from Wal-Mart or Target if they are cute and of good quality. I just roll my eyes when she says things like that because she is trying so hard to impress me when I couldn't care less.
Scarie-Carrie is completely determined to have a girl baby. I believe she will continue to get pregnant until she gets one. She's just a very odd person, quirky and all. She yells at the kids like a crazy person and then she'll act like nothing happened and we're all like, speechless. They are
always in trouble. ALWAYS! At Christmas this year I asked my mom where all the toys are that she keeps for the grandkids. She said scarie-Carrie put them all away, it's better that way. Her boys were popped onto the couch and told not to get up at all. This is on Christmas day. The littlest one, who hadn't turned two yet, was put in one of those exer-saucer things, they look like a walker but have no wheels. Ella hasn't been in a contraption like that since she was 6 or 7 months old! Anyway, she did this to immobolize him, didn't want to have to keep up with him. I felt so sorry for them.
Every meal we have with them the boys are yelled at to "EAT"! One of them will get a spanking for playing instead of eating, then the other one will soon follow.
The oldest one broke his arm when he was 11 months old, the youngest one broke his leg right before he turned two. I don't know what goes on at their house, but I fear that she is too rough on them at times. I really don't believe she would beat them or abuse them in that way, but I have seen her jerk them up too fast and wonder if she might really hurt one of them.
So if scarie-Carried doesn't get a girl this time, if she gets another boy, I'm truly afraid she may go completely psycho.
Sorry this is so long. But now you know all about scarie-Carrie.

We just got back from our morning workout. It's going to be another beautiful day - the sun was shining, it wasn't too warm (for 6:30am) and there was a slight breeze. Can't ask for anything nicer than that.
