I have 3 kids. My children are 8, 11, and 12 years old. I have started to get into arguments with my 12 year old. I live on a farm.  I love dogs and animals. I love music works on computers. One of my children is a 12 year old boy. Sugar makes 12 year old more hyper than normal. Son is a picky eater. My son and I like the same type of music. Pineapple is one of my favorite fruits.  I have a dehydrator.
I love the beach. I love mediterranean food. I love STYX and joyrney and other old bands. I love fall weather. I am retired. I like to relax during the evening. I have 5 grndchildren.  I took my grandchildren to the play ground. My grandchildren are 6 months old, 2 years old, 4 years old, 4 years old, and 10 years old. My 4 year old grand daughters are twins. I like making pineapple and mango fruit snacks. Spoil grandchildren with cookies and cakes.
What have you been doing when you spend time with your grandchildren?  Have you been able to take them to the beach recently? I have been! We took a big family trip up to the beach together, my granddaughters loved it! My 10 year old wasn't enthused. Have you been able to spend time with your children? Oh yes we spent so much time together, in fact just earlier we were at the park and my eight-year-old was running and having a great time in my 11 and 12-year-old were sitting on the bench with me wondering when we were going to leave. So I pulled out my phone and had my 12-year-old find something good to listen to so we can enjoy our time while my eight-year-old was having fun. It really change the mood we got to laughing and carrying on quite nostalgic! That is so wonderful to hear! I know your son can be quite moody nowadays, so it's wonderful to hear you two bonding. My 10 year old grandson is getting that way, I remember when my own son was that age. What type of music do you and your son enjoy listening to together?  Right now we’re into the classics and 70s early 80s but we also like to listen to some Christian music and he also likes a little bit of that rap music. I’m really excited that we can do a little bit of bonding to. How do you manage to keep up with all those grandchildren and a set a twins at that four-year-old twins You've got great taste, I'm a geezer so I was around when those classics hit the stage and I've been in love with them ever since. I'm so glad youre bring your children up on such a wonderful variety. Having 5 grandchildren is tough, especially since they're all so young. Giving them sweets usually takes the attitude and grumpiness right off! Puts them to sleep after the sugar rush. Thanks I like to think I have a great taste also! I bet it was really awesome to of been young when those songs came out and been able to go to their concerts and see their shows I bet it was a lot of fun! Yeah the young ones can be tough sometimes although maybe for grandmas but for mom’s were not all about giving them the sweets because they really amp up my son! So what do you guys have planned for later today or are they already back home with their parents? It was so fun back in my prime. For us grandparents, we just get to spoil them and then hand them back, it's great for us! Although I'm sure the hyperactivity the parents have to put up with afterward isn't too fun. I was planning on relaxing for the rest of the day with my oldies collection of music. How has life on the farm been with your children? We have our days ups and downs but for the most part we can live a simple little life and we have a lot of fun. The goats,horses, chickens, CowsThey all keep our life full of excitement and worries. I’ll tell you were by the end of the day we are ready for supper bath and bed Oh, I believe that. I bet your kids love the animals, too, except for helping take care of them! I'm sure your 12 year old son has started to help around with the chores and he's cross with you for it. Life is full of ups and downs, excitement and stress, but I'm glad to hear you're doing well and happy. One day you'll be retired like me and love reminiscing and seeing how things worked out for the better. Yeah he might get a little grumpy with me here and there but really I think that it’s really helping to mold who he’s going to become as an adult. We all love the animals and I can’t really sayThat they don’t like taking care of them because I find them having a good time doing it we make a fun out of it. Being retired is pretty far from reality for me right now but I’m sure that I will enjoy it and it will be bittersweet. It's surprising to hear they like to help care for the farm animals, but it's refreshing. My grandkids would throw a fit the size of Texas if I asked for their help with anything. You're doing a fantastic job raising your kids and caring for your farm. I'm really proud of you for the way you handle your son as well. It's hard in those teen years when they don't understand why we do what we do as adults. It's our job to teach them and mold them.
