Buckmaster7600 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Well today was one of the greatest days of my life, my cousin is in town and the other day when we were talking I told her to drop her kids off so her and her husband could have a day to them selves. She has 3 kids 2 boys and a girl oldest 11 youngest 5. We had a BLAST! We rode the wheelers, went swimming fished in the creek, shot bows and shot guns, basically the perfect day. Her kids had so much fun they live in a city and don't get to do these things. My daughter is 8 and she had so much fun with the kids as well. Apparently in the 10 years since I last seen my cousin a lot has changed. She came and picked them up and about 2 minutes later called my phone hysterical and screaming at me for allowing her kids to shoot guns and "hurt fish." After trying to figure out what she was screaming about for a couple minutes I asked her if she was bringing them over again tomorrow and she hung up. What the hell is wrong with people these days?

philoshop Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I'm sorry it didn't end well for you, but I had to 'like' it for the positives. Sounds like you had a fun day with the kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grampy Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I hope that you planted a seed with them, that will grow and bloom, as they get a bit older. You did good as a sitter! Given the opportunity most kids would have a great time doing all you did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fasteddie Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Glad you had fun and the kids did also . But ..... there is nothing worse than someone who " hurts " fish ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtTime Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Sounds like a great day being outdoors to me. Sad she has an issue with the activities. To many in the world like that these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckmaster7600 Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 It's just sad, the kids had a blast! We ended the shooting with her oldest blowing up my last lb of tannerite with my AR, I don't think Tyson could have smacked the smile off his face.

catskillkid Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 (edited) I'm sure that you are their favorite cousin / uncle now, they will remember this day for the rest of their lives. Be proud, you did a great thing for them. I wish I had an uncle like you when I was a kid. Edited July 15, 2016 by catskillkid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoneam2006 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 The good part is they will be begging forever to come back and hopefully she gets sick of hearing it and let's them... Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckmaster7600 Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 When she was dropping them off they all got out of the van carrying iPads I told them to put them back in the car and they wouldn't need them today. She told me oh they'll get bored you better let them take them, I said no they won't need em. Not once did they ask for them or seem bored.

mlammerhirt Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Congrats for spending quality time with the kids!!! She allows them to use the iPads and convince her they are bored because she doesn't feel like providing quality real life opportunities for them!

catskillkid Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Sounds like she would rather have them live in a cyber world than the real world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATbuckhunter Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Glad the kids has fun! Wonder why she changed her thoughts on shooting and fishing....maybe the husband had something to do about it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 that really is too bad. good you had a great time with them. how did she not realize what you could do with them outdoors?? that's like someone else dropping off kids with someone in the city and then getting all bent they had to cross busy streets multiple times. truly is sad.

Pygmy Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 7600, you are my HE-ro...!! When I grow up, I want to be just like YOU..!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFA-ADK Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Funny but sad. People are being brainwashed into thinking all guns are bad and people who have them are bad and do bad things like fish and hunt game and enjoy the outdoors. People forget that if it where not for fishing and hunting most of us would not exist because our four fathers did it to survive. They will remember that day forever! Hats off to ya! Sounds like fun! Bad boy, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
