Breeders just want to run their parents and grandparents into the ground until they're so sick and exhausted that they have to be put in nursing homes. The loaves come first and the old people don't matter, so they'll have no problem with that.

I beg to differ. It is only themselves that matter, not the children or the grandparents.]]> craftyzits The Living RoomThu, 05 Dec 2024 18:01:41 +0000 http://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?2,450704,450774#msg-450774 Re: One way to get out of babysitting grandbratshttp://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?2,450704,450774#msg-450774
and has anyone thought of this. this bunch of entitled breeders EXPECTING the grandparents to act as unpaid baby sitters; just dump them on the gp's at every opportunity. If their kids grow up expecting THEM to babysit their f trophies, what is going to happen then?? I doubt I'll live long enough to see this.. as the narcissism, entitlement mentality has been slow to accelerate to the point it is now. but exponential growth, this will hit the fan in 20 years or less]]> twocents The Living RoomThu, 05 Dec 2024 16:42:24 +0000 http://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?2,450704,450771#msg-450771 Re: One way to get out of babysitting grandbratshttp://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?2,450704,450771#msg-450771
No thanks! Even at my age of 56 I'm too sick and tired to look after someone's toadler, even for an afternoon. I'd be finished after less than an hour.]]> mumofsixbirds The Living RoomThu, 05 Dec 2024 01:48:21 +0000 http://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?2,450704,450766#msg-450766 Re: One way to get out of babysitting grandbratshttp://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?2,450704,450766#msg-450766

One duh on the r/ was complaining about the loaf's GREAT grandparents not being involved. Um, yes dude. In general, great-grandparents are too damned old to run around after your toadler.

Unless they're just 60 years old. Some 'grandparents' are VERY young, as I've heard of a 30-year-old grandmother.]]> craftyzits The Living RoomWed, 04 Dec 2024 18:15:35 +0000 http://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?2,450704,450764#msg-450764 Re: One way to get out of babysitting grandbratshttp://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?2,450704,450764#msg-450764 freya The Living RoomTue, 03 Dec 2024 21:09:53 +0000 http://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?2,450704,450759#msg-450759 Re: One way to get out of babysitting grandbratshttp://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?2,450704,450759#msg-450759

There's a whole subreddit dedicated to entitled breeders complaining that the grandparents won't act as full-time childminders/surrogate parents.

Sadly, that doesn't surprise me at all. What's the subreddit? :popcorn

Brb, gotta go walk my schadenfreude.

maybe a dick move but I'm willing to bet that not all of the entitlement was being reported on. My guess is something the gonad donors said and/or did pushed them over the edge.

and I finally figured out how to make this page display correctly. called customer service and broken english. good grief. I think I'd be real careful here now..

Actual customer service is going extinct.]]> craftyzits The Living RoomSat, 30 Nov 2024 19:14:31 +0000 http://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?2,450704,450749#msg-450749 Re: One way to get out of babysitting grandbratshttp://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?2,450704,450749#msg-450749

There are a lot of adult kids now flipping out with entitlement when grandparents are like "Nahhhhh, we will do our own thing now"

How dare these grandparents *checks notes* live their own lives!

This is like the reverse version of older parents getting pissed that their kids won't have kids.

True, we're only hearing a very small one-sided part of the story, much context is likely missing.

After reading the story it sounds like entitled duh coerced the grands into baby sitting. So I wonder if - considering how quickly the dog appeared and disappeared - if the dog existed at all or was a ruse to get out of babysitting. I think the dog was never there :lolhammer]]> thom_c The Living RoomMon, 25 Nov 2024 03:29:04 +0000 http://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?2,450704,450704#msg-450704 One way to get out of babysitting grandbratshttp://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?2,450704,450704#msg-450704
