The Son In Law Strikes (Again)

[Gunny]

LOL! I'm getting the feeling you have 'a million of them.'

He's a piece of work from "go". Above all other things, he promises to do things for my granddaughters and doesn't. Anyone can say what they want about me, but I NEVER once did that. If I promised my kids something it happened.

He never does what he says he's going to in general, but I'm an adult and don't hold my breath.

Did I mention, petty, insecure, talks-behind-your-back and holds arguments with 6 and 9 years olds? His latest (besides the internet): The trees need trimming. Twice a year the city comes around and hauls brush from your curb. Our turn is next week. I trimmed one tree and said I was going to do the ones in front. He throws a fit that I'm trimming the trees. He says he'll do it, but see above, won't. I've done the trimming since I've been here. He can't stand for anyone else to do it and get credit, but won't get off his ass and do it himself. Always has an excuse. I don't want to trim his damned trees. So he loans MY tree trimming tool to a neighbor and tells them no rush bringing it back.

Meanwhile, the trees need to be trimmed and the brush piled or we have to haul it ourselves. Yes, he will cut off his nose to spite his face.

Going to start a fight tomorrow when I put the training wheels on my granddaughters bike he's promised since her birthday and blown her off.

Someone interrupted Gunny's internet access? I agree that's not smart.

My daughter asked him what motel he was going to be hiding out in until he got it turned back on

That's just sad. I put on my kids training wheels, though got to admit they took them off themselves pretty darn quick. Wobbled. Learn to balance or pain. LOL!

It was so funny when I took my boy's training wheels off.

I held the seat at first and let him pedal then walked alongside. Kept telling him to
look up and not watch his feet.

He kept staring at his feet and WHAP into a tree, low wall, or bush!
Never got hurt but preciously funny.

Grandpa has tools. Training wheels - 15 minutes. Changing inner tube - 10 minutes. Grandpa also used to build bikes as a kid. I didn't have a PS 3

The kicker: I did the work, told him about it, now he wants nothing to do with it. No, he does NOT ever think it's about the kids and not him. HE is ALWAYS interjected inot everything.
