Grand Skids, Not so Grand

Skids made me miserable off and on for many years, you think that when they get older and have their own families, your troubles are over.........Not so.....They may be beginning all over again......For me, the step-grandkid has turned out to be almost worse than the skids. I know it is totally a DH issue, but at times it is almost to much to handle. My DH WORSHIPS the ground mini skid (4yrs old) walks on- he gets the kid over here, every thing revolves around him....OMG....oh, mini skid, are you hungry? Oh, mini skid, can I get you some cookies, oh, mini skid, lets go to the zoo, movies, park, ....If anyone else is here visiting, forget any attention from DH, it is all about mini-skid. Sassy little fella too...NO!! I wont eat my dinner, I want a cookie, etc.......I come home from work, and am told to SHUSH!! Mini skid is napping!!  Once I even asked my DH, do you think he can just play while we have conversations, for once can we have no new toys for him, no special trips, no tacos or pizza? My DH responded: “I want him to like me”  obviously DH does not care if I like him.......

The whole thing is so pathetic, it is sad to watch him grovel at the kids feet......I almost feel sorry for the mini skid- what chance does he have- Why do parents that do a lousy job of raising their children think that they can pull the same enabling crap, with grandchildren and have a different / better outcome?

If H did the spoiling with his own kids best believe the grandkids will be worse.

Sadly, because they don't think they did a bad job in the first place!
