Aaron and I this last weekend had the great pleasure of watching Frank and Missy's kids. (And before I tell you how it went I want to say that I have a great respect for Frank and Missy for being able to raise seven kids.) Well from the start the kids tested me. They wanted to see if I was going to be the joking uncle or be the acting parent. I got to say it was not the easiest thing to do. I think that parents go through this... Should I try to be the kids friends and try to be the so called "Cool person" or should I be the parent to them and make them do things that they do not want to do. Like clean up or behave. I got to say that this was hard for me. I think for anyone they want be the their kids friend but I think that when this happens if is detrimental to the kids growth. Children need to have someone that teaches them what is right or wrong not let them grow up making any decision for themselves. That is what they do when they become adults. Now back to the kids. Those twins are so cute but do not let that fool you, they are a handful. Olivia and Abby little Princesses as I call them Kayla is a little mom and Sam and Trey quintessential Rodartes. Meaning joking sassing and being loud. I love each and everyone of them though. I loved be able to spend time with all of them. (And I can not believe I am saying this.) I would watch them again. I also saw my wife Aaron being a MOM. I truly can not wait until we can have kids for ourselves. I saw how much she loves kids and being a Mom. She was so much better than me at watching the kids.
