I don't know how to act not making entries that are focused on anime.
As much as I love my nephews, thank god I only get the chance to visit once a year. So far, Ethan hasn't been overly buggy (he's 8) I guess since I only see him in the evening cause of him being in school. Dylan will be 5 next month and I swear, that boy is going to such a handful once he gets older. It's bad enough he's getting so bad now! My sis said that just a month ago, he started grunting or growling when you tell him to do something, along with "no", "you do it", "I'm not going to" and I'm sure much more.
On Fri's, my mom comes over to take Ethan to the bus stop and then watches Dylan till it's time to take him to pre-school in the afternoon. I told her I would watch Dylan so she could get some sleep till it was time to get him. She said it was no bother and would take him anyways. I woke up around 7:30 and mom was telling me how she wasn't feeling so good. Again I offered to watch Dylan but she said that he already wants to go with her. Right before it was time for Ethan to leave, mom told Dylan to get his shoes on. OMFG!!!!!!!! What happened next, I swear, that kid's ass would've been so sore from a beating, he'd have a hard time sitting all day!!!
Dylan starts getting mouthy with mom telling her NO! YOU get my shoes for ME. Again she asked him and this time he started to throw a fit. Needless to say, she dragged his ass in the kitchen to put them on but during this process, he upset mom so bad, she started crying. Which in turn, pissed me off so I'm yelling at him for being a bad boy and how he must like making grandma cry. Along with the threat of waking daddy up cause my b-i-l don't take Dylan's attitude lightly. It's bad enough she's not feeling good and him upsetting her was making it worse. So because of his behavior, she told him she wasn't taking him to the movies tomorrow. I guess I should say threatened cause I know damn well she will give in by tomorrow morning TILL I remind her that is.
I just don't get it, seeing how bad Dylan is behaving, if that was me or my sisters at his age, our ass would've so sore, we really would have a hard time sitting for a week. These kids get away with so much when it comes to punishment, its no wonder Dylan acts the way he does. I'm not saying that my sis & her hubby don't punish the boys but I feel sometimes its not enough. And it's even worse with mom cause she gives into those kids so damn much, no wonder they act the way they do. You can tell her that till your blue in the face and she'll admit it but she DOESN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!!!!!!! I kinda take that back, because of the way Dylan has been recently, her level of patience has thinned out.
AGAIN, ppl want to know why I don't want kids REGARDLESS of how "well its different when they are your own." I don't give a shit!! There is no such thing as a "good" child.

Since I'm kid free today till the evening, I guess I should get a move on with my writing cause I promised Ethan that tonight, we'll play Gungrave. As much as I don't mind getting my nephew into anime or games, I'm wondering if it was a good idea to get him hooked into Gungrave (the game). I brought both the 1st and GGOD and he's just so in awe of them. The boy has a good memory though when he was asking me about certain characters from last yr. And just about every day this week when he'd get done with his homework, he'd ask if I could play it (since its only a 1 player game). I told him Fri since he doesn't have to worry about school the next day and he can stay up longer with me. Which I'm not sure how that's going to work since Dylan goes to bed at 9. I wish I would've had room in my suitcase cause I was thinking about bringing the Gungrave anime with me since I had a feeling that Ethan might have liked it. He wanted to see what Grave looked like before he became Grave. I thought I had some screenshots or amvids but I only had one pic of teenage Brandon that seemed to quell Ethan's curiosity.

The weather has been so cool all week, especially the evenings. All weekend it's supposed to be in the low 60's day and mid 40's at night!!!!!!!!!! It's going to feel weird when I get back down to TX to that warmer weather. And with mom being sick and I know Dylan has the sniffles, I told them they need to keep their sicklies to themselves cause I'll be damned if I go home with a fucking cold.
~*~
I don't think I'll have the chance to take as many pics with my plushies like I did last yr. The place where I did want to take pics at was down at the creek. Last yr it was so dry that the creek was pretty low enough that I could walk to where I wanted. This yr, the creek stayed high enough, about mid thigh, that not only is it too "deep" to walk in it but the spot I took pics of Renji at last yr, is covered with water. Plus I'm sure the water is cold as fuck this time around.

That's enough for one day.

Mom said she will never forget when she went to spank my one sister with a colored ruler. My sis told her "you can't spank me, that's the wrong color." As much as mom thought it was cute, she still spanked her with it anyways. *lol*
It is sad how in society, we are refrained from punishing our kids yet then the world wants to know why children grow up to be bad or spoiled.

But it's like society has gone over to the extreme of all punishment that might evoke a tear or two is bad.

People eventually stopped asking me why I don't have kids when I stopped giving them the responses they were fishing for. Which were my 'reasons' which they thought they could quickly demolish with their 'logic'. I began just *looking* at the person, maybe arching an eyebrow, and asking calmly and politely why they were so interested in my private life.
For me, that was a far more effective approach to take with the average person than feeling I had to justify it somehow - screw that, I don't. For the complete morons who actually tried to explain why they had a right to pry into my life, the next response was usually along the lines of "Piss off, you nosy fucker." Only the first one's free...
Luckily my/our family never got on my case like that. My mom actually gets pretty pissed when people talk about childless couples being 'selfish'. They just have no clue... guess we can't blame them for being stupid.
Oh, and I agree - my kids, should I ever have them - are going to get that smack on the ass just like I did, when they deserve it.
(Ehh... I'm not really a mean person, I just think that if I'm polite enough not to ask a person why they keep poppin' 'em out, they should be polite enough to refrain from asking why I choose not to...)

I kinda feel bad cause I have a hubby who actually LOVES kids and does want them. But I still don't feel that need to have them and I informed him of that before we got married.
I see more and more ppl not wanting kids and hell, can you blame them? I sure as hell don't.

...Environmental frothing aside, I seriously dislike kids. I'm not afraid to say it. I've never liked them, never been comfortable around them, and can only stand to be around a very select few without the urge to flee overtaking me. These days I find that more and more of them are spoiled little snots, which only serves to make me want to either run, or smack their parents upside the head.
......General frothing aside, no, I don't ever plan on having kids. People don't even ask me. It's just as well they don't, because I'd have half a hundred reasons as to why not, and the bubbly people who are child-besotted wouldn't like a damned single one of them.

SOOOOOO SOOOOOOOOOOOO TRUE!!!!!!!
I'm not a kid person but for some damn reason, kids just LOVE me!! It's like they attach themselves to me and I can't shake them off.

Fuck yes. My older sis would agree with you too with half the parents she has to hear about since one nephew is in 3rd grade and the other in pre-school.
Ppl still ask me from time to time but thank god it's not as constant as in the past. And each time I tell them HELL NO so they can take the hint on just how much I don't want rugrats.

I'm lucky. People mistake me for a guy, frequently, as I have the kind of build that screams "guy without particular anatomical features."
I swear, you should need a license to have kids. For the kids' sake. *shudders*
...Heeeey, maybe I can be evil and spin a sci-fi yarn out of that. XD
