Spent soem time with NGF this weekend without D8 (who I picked up last night). I consider myself to be a good parent....maybe a little soft at times but D8 knows when I get a certain look on my face that I have reached my maximum tolerance level or pretty close to it. Sometimes I can be pretty volcanic but that may be hereditary or have something to do with my ethnic origins. On the other hand NGF's kids continuously challenge her. The problem is that she is WAY too soft on them and often regrets what she says or rather what she allows them to do. Do not get me wrong, I am a papa bear and spoil my kid. She puts me to shame......it is just too much and her kids have developped into a couple of whiny kids...they whine about each other and almost everything else under the sun continuously. Ok, enough venting. Since, I am a masochist, I am leaving for the amusement parc with D8, NGF, her kids and the clan from the stable. I am already expecting the worse. Well at least the weather is beautiful 25C and sunny all day! Wish me luck!
