Pluggers by Rick McKee for September 25, 2019

my stepmother (my biological nephew is clear on the other side of the country)

The thing about being “Retired” is you still work but don’t get paid ;-) But I like it !

Once a Mother, always a Mother.

thats the great thing about grandkids. i’m done, you spoil them then send them home…..pay back is a …..

My motto: Sugar them up and send them home.

Sometimes.. it is an invitation to come over for dinner.

At least until they are out of their terrible 2’s & 3’s. LOL

No kids of my own and my wife’s two will never have children.

Or cat-sitting in my mom’s case. Whenever sis is out of town, Onyx goes to grandma’s to help her with her knitting.

My sister always wanted kids and grandkids. She has 3 kids and 6 grandkids (all 6 belong to her oldest daughter). I, on the other hand, have 1 kid who never wants to have kids (as she is almost 36 and no boyfriend, good chance she won’t) and had no interest in grandkids (grand CATS, yes). My mom loved having her grandkids over when she had a house of her own, but, now that she is living with my sister and is a lot older, finds the 4 youngest great-grandkids to be a bit much (5 y/o boy, twin 3.5 y/o girls, 1 y/o boy). The two oldest ggk are 14 and 12. They are much more fun for her to be around. LOL

Free Uber. Could you pickup the kids from school ?

“Um, let me guess…being taken advantage of?”

That’s why I didn’t have children. Okay, not really, but it’s a definite perk.
