Which Pop Blew it?

[Longhorn85]

Both wives are out of town. I feed my 10 yr old daughter a late breakfast (pancakes) and get her to her noon baskeball game today. Another kid from the team wants my daughter to come over to play for the afternoon. The Dad asks me, I say sure, as long as you bring her home. He says that will be tough cuz his wife is out of town, I say join the club.

He drops her off around 5. First thing out of her mouth is can I have something to eat. He had her over there for 4 hours after a basketball game and did not feed her.

Which Pop blew it? I think I would have at least offered the kid a hot dog. I probably should have packed her lunch.

You're right, but even a guy can be trained. My wife has trained me a little better than that.

Kudos to her!

That is why you are still so happily married after all of these years! Truth be told, I am just the tiniest bit jealous.

 

[Lestat]

Great idea! It's not too late, she doesn't come back till tomorrow night. Then I could let him know his mistake.

Could you imagine arguing about this over a beer at a strip club?

lmao jimmy

You're absolutely right about that. Now, if you had been the other dad would you have offered her a meal or a snack?

 

[jimmy d]

if i would have thought about it for sure, or if she would have asked...but if i didn't think of it (which i wouldn't have), and she didn't ask, nothing would have happened

part of being a responsible parent is being on top of these things greg

Would you likely have fed yourself during that period? (1-5 after having spent 1.5 hours at a basketball game?

most certainly

Anyway, I'm not making any excuses. Next time I'll def say: "she hasn't had lunch"

maybe you could provide her with, i dunno, maybe a lunch bag/bail? fuckin' a mate do i have to old your hand?

Chances are if he didn't offer your daughter any food, even a snack then he didn't even feed his own child either. What kind of parent is that?

Read the last sentence in my first post.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

My guess is that he took a long nap. The Mr. Mom thing was kicking his ass.

When my kids were younger and WE would go to visit someone's home for a playdate I would ALWAYS bring snacks for my own kids because there were so many I would NEVER expect another to feed them.

We never had too much and have even less now but if there is a kid in my home I am ALWAYS pushing some sort of snack or food on them. Not necessarily a full meal, but always something to eat.

As I said before - not to sound sexist, but men are just not wired for stuff like this.

I dont think the guy was a bad guy. I honestly believe he wasnt thinking.

Moral of the story - feed your kid first. Sad, but now you know.

All true B'mom, but remember this was an impromptu play date. I fed her about 1.5 hrs prior to her game and we were to return home afterwards.

He approached me after the game about the play date because his daughter (and mine) were working it hard.

Feel ya - just chalk it up to

*note to self*

If my kid is going to be playing with this guy's kid and his wife isnt home, either feed my kid first or make it verbally known in no uncertain terms to this fucktard - OUR KIDS NEED FOOD.

LOL

 

[Longhorn85]

chalked

thought this was gonna be a bush senior/junior political thread.....lolol

 

[Longhorn85]

My wife is home now. She is pretty perceptive. She asked me if the other dad looked unshaven or disheveled. If so he was probably stressed out and disorganized without his wife around.

She called it.

exactly.

lol when I leave for a few hours or something and Lumberg is at home with my son, I usually will mention to him "Hey at some point he is going to have to want to eat lunch. Make sure you whip him up something to eat or ask him if he's hungry at some point." We laugh about me having to remind him to feed the kid LOL

checklist:

water the plants
feed the dog
feed the kid
