sorry got to get this off my chest somewhere
My Dad came up for a visit yesterday (he sees the DDs about 6 times a year maybe a bit mroe) anywayhe brought them chocolate which he gave them which is fine he's their Papa they don't see him that often then proceeds to wind them up for instance throwing things about etc now they are 3 and 2 so they go a bit mad then he is like
"oh they are wild you were never like that"
I said I bet I was as a toddler they are all like that given half the chance "oh no you played away quietly in a corner!" mmm maybe at about 8 but not at 2.
some other ones told him I pick DP up most nights from work at 6.30pm "oh do you take the DDs with you?" he also said he didn't phone in the morning in case I was having a lay in? Oh and when I said I have to drive our new car home as it's easier that taking the DDs he said "why can't DP drive it home" cos he's looking after the DDs. And when the DDs didn't eat any dinner (wonder why maybe chocolate) he was like "oh you weren't allowed down from teh table until you ate everything you never left a thing, is that all they are going to eat?
I think his memory has got lost in the fogs of time.
Parents eh? He's really sweet with them but honestly doesn't have a clue.
