Mr. Carter

So yesterday, it was proven, once again, that Carter Parrish has a mind of his own...and is not interested in listening sometime.  he is so much like me, my grandma has said she thinks hes mine after all! LOL!  but seriously, he does remind me of myself at times.  but anyways, he had a doctors appointment for his speech therapy yesterday afternoon, so his Nana (Pat, Brookes mom)took him to it.  also, for some reason, she chose to get Triston as well when she went to pick them up.  (which i could have told her right then & there that was a bad decision)  but anyhow, she took them both to the drs appt & im sure had hell trying to get them to behave because SHE never disciplines them & so they dont listen to her worth anything.  but the appt went well & i had told the boys that when i got off i would come get the from Nana & take them to mcdonalds to play.  so Pat called me & said the dr appt ended early & she was gonna go ahead & take them to mcdonalds because they were so hungry & getting restless.  (which annoyed me)  but i said sure thats fine, ill just meet you there.  so when i got off i called her, to find out two things.  one, she took them to a mcdonalds WITHOUT A PLAYPLACE, because she "didnt know where one was"...i mean, freakin drive a couple miles & i bet youll stumble upon one....theyre only at every street corner, GEEEEZ!!!  then number two, Carter had run out in the middle of the street when she was leaving the doctors office & had almost gotten hit by a vehicle...and this was on Classen...i mean, a pretty busy 4 lane road.  THEN she was pulling him back to the car & she picked him up & he BIT HER!!!!!  all that with no spanking.  are you kidding me?????  i would have whooped him so hard, so fast after all that.  but anyhow, she didnt.  and she was telling me that she couldnt believe he would do that.  she said he was playing on the curb & she "thought that was fine" and then he just darted out into the road.  OH EM GEE!!!  i was stunned by the whole situation.  and she said that she told him he was going to have to "face the consequences" of telling josh & i, which im sure he had no clue what the heck that meant.  so that did a lot of good.  but yeah, i couldnt believe all of that happened.  absolutely crazy.  im so glad carter didnt get hurt & i cant belive she wouldnt hold his hand while walking out near any kind of traffic.  i mean, its CARTER!!!!!  triston, you dont really have to hold his hand, hes not gonna run off like that, but if youre gonna hang on to one of them, it better be CARTER!!!  hes the one who is always lookin for trouble.  However, if you have let him know that YOU are the boss when youre around, then he acts much better.  like, i could guarantee that he wouldnt do that around me or josh.  it just wouldnt happen, because either we would be holding his hand (which is how you walk with children in parking lots) or he would listen the first time we called him back to us.  he knows that josh & i are NOT playing around.  obviously i know that we are not perfect parents & i know accidents happen & it could have happened to anyone, but i ALSO know that they do not listen to Pat worth anything because she always gives in & gives them anything they want no matter what they have done just because she doesnt want them to whine for it.  that, my friend, is NOT good parenting.  but anyways, i know im not perfect so ill hush now, lol.
