Hmmmmm, not a whole lot to report. I went to Kona, it was fun. I drove up to Wymea to the hospital, dropped off Blake, and went horseback riding on the Walker cowboy ranch, it's really the only thing to do in Wymea. It's a beautiful place to be, but such a small town. They didn't even have a car wash...... I did get offered a job taking care

it is hard to picture you taking care of some one elses kid when you are not getting paid money for it.

[dylan2727]

Yeah, it's mainly just tolorating her, not taking care of her. That sounds bad, but like I said, she is so high maintanance that just being around her is like a full time job, so it's very draining.

Is this from BT?

maybe she could grow on you the way they did on amber. they are sneaky that way. next thing we know you are going to be married with a kid when you should be havin fun. HA!

best advice for spoiled kids? no means no, and crying whining etc will only make you ignore them and make the no firmer. you have to be consistant and be okay with not being the kids best friend. they will respect you more later. this is my moms philosophy and i whole-heartedly agree.

also, when you say they cant do things, give an alternative, things they -can- do instead. oh, and give them lots of positive feedback when they are not acting like jerks.

i tend to treat kids like miniature adults [with poor social skills] a lot of the time. it often works.

but dood, dad should be doin this. tell him to buck up, yo.

what a loaded topic my blog is.

Hey, dad does do this, so does his mom, and I'm just kinda chipping in. It takes a village to raise this child! Its not like I've taken her off on her own and tried to babysit, it's just that she needs 100% of everyones attention at all times. Also, Blake is now all gimpy and is on so many pain killers from his arm that he needs help this week. He's got these giant metal staples holding his arm on, sortove.

yah, sorry, i didnt mean to discount him, i just meant its -not- really yer job. thats all the stuff i would say to anyone, and i know some kids are just harder than others.

for all i know, i was like that too. i sometimes am now....

I think the growing on me was more in the vein of mold-that-wouldn't-go-away-so-I-found-a-way-to-make-sculptures-of-it, than the wow-I-actually-DO-like-kids-who-knew?
The older they get, the better or worse they get, depending on how much they are taught about consequences as a younger child. I think. Part of me likes the little rebel side of some kids, but the part of me that has to deal with it being rebeling against me, I don't like as much.
I by no means consider myself to have kids, and am at constant odds with how to deal with the situation, myself. So, good luck. And remember unless this is really serious ( I don't think it is from what you've said) it's not like you are going to spend your life raising the kid.

[dylan2727]

Oh, my god, no, I think I'd rather stick needles in my eyes! Actually, the extream challenge part of it draws me in somewhat. Blake doesn't know what he's doing in raising her (he said so himself), so I feel compelled to try to make her behave differently. But then again, they are all leaving in 6 weeks. I do someday want to have a child, and I do not want her to act like Maya. So I guess I'm doing a little research.
