Aaargh!  Today I planned to clean house and install my sunroom shades, if it didn't rain, get my pool filter hooked up.

Noooooo...son descends.  With dog and children.  First he rants about political stuff, than tried to convince his father to use online banking.  Then more rants about his job and wife.  Then Archer barfs a humongous pile of god knows what under the kitchen table.

Then  he goes with hubby  to check out the toys r us sale.  Leaving me with the kids and dogs.  Bad enough don't dong don't dong every few minutes but, damn.  Baby girl just had  poopy diaper (he changed then previous one just before leaving)  apparently she wanted it out and before I realized what was happening, mined the diaper, leaving turds on the floor, poop on her hands and back... And must have stepped into it cause her feet were  smeared....

And I just caught her leaping from the coffee table to the couch

I'M TOO OLD FOR THIS SHIT!!!!!

And the treat of all treats? Putting my boots on, standing up and finding 3 Lego pieces in the toe...

Wow, I'm with you, I'm too old for that crap. I wouldn't tolerate it in my house but the kids and grand kids know, mind Grandma's rules and your manners and, don't bring your pets to my house if they can't behave.

I jokingly threaten to give the ransom small critters the kids bring over to the wolves for five second toys. I'd never do it and, the kids know it but, they still wonder if I wouldn't feed a misbehaving pet to my wolfdogs LOL. No but it keeps the unruly pets at home and, the tiny ones caged around here.
