So me and the wife are at her mothers for the summer (about 2 hours from our home), babysitting her boyfriends kids. (girl is 8, and a boy whom is 6). I agreed to this little gig having reservations about the while situation. My wife, nor I are crazy about her mother's b/f. He's a real yuppie, and basically an example of what is wrong with "men" now days (being pussies). He is a college psych professor, and tries his hand at "categorizing" and diagnosing EVERYONE he comes into contact with. I guess it's his way of feeling superior. Anyway fuck him.
So today is the first day of my wife and I having the kids solo. We take them on a bike ride to the gated community's pool (about 3 blocks). We get within sight of the pool, and the sidewalk slopes GENTLY up for a little bit. The boy can't pedal up the hill. Instead of stopping and getting off the bike, this not too bright kid stops, and just falls the fuck over. Its a 16" bike. He tipped over. He layed on the ground screaming his fucking head off for I swear 10 minutes. He sounded like he was being tortured. He had a red place on his stomach, and that was it. Didn't break skin or anything. He's just a big pussy. After he finally got his breathe and slowed into a steady sob, he started walking to the pool. I had to push his fucking bike for him, b/c he wouldn't touch it. We get to the pool, he jumps in, water goes up his nose. He comes up out of the water, horror movie screaming, AGAIN. Everyone at the pool is looking at me like I hit the kid or something. He cried for another 5 minutes. An hour passes by without incident, until he gets pool water in his eye. My wife takes him into the girls bathroom to rinse his eye out, and he's crying, again. He won't come out of the bathroom. He stayed in there until my wife said fuck it, we're taking them home. Had to load his fucking bike in the back of my car (nasty greasy bike, in my nice fucking clean car), because he wouldn't ride it. I had to TELL him to man up and push the bike to the car.
My 4 year old daughter got a concussion from falling out of a shopping cart, and cried for about 5 minutes. Then wanted to leave the hospital to go home and play. She pops little "wheelies" on her 16" bike, with no training wheels. Of which she has wrecked countless times, with very few tears shed. How is it that someone can baby a child SO fucking much to the point where they are giant pussy? What the fuck is wrong with parents?
