How's this translation, "Look, lets take a break with the kids for awhile."
I appreciate your phrasing, paintbaby, but it sounds too academic. I don't speak to him that a way.
How do you like being told your language is , "too academic?"
Also, I was talking about her with the kids and asked if they'd ever seen her dad tell her no. They rememered one time, when she wanted him to buy an application for his new phone for her to play a game and he said no a million times. The boys reported that she said she was going to just order it anyway behind his back because it was only $20 and she wanted it.
They know she's screwed up. I just said, well, if you're an adult and you do that what do you think will happen?
I can tell my littlest guy was sad, he misses his friend, but I've been taking him to play with other friends. He'll be ok.
