Do you avoid certain people because of their kids?

[CJ-95GT]

So does a bad kid trump a hot mom or is it the other way around?

[bcoop]

AH. Don asked me if I was going out there and I was like "uhh, I wasn't invited" lol. I figured it was cuz you and I butted heads. No biggie.

Dude, I got no problems. We're cool as the other side of the pillow as far as I'm concerned. I'd hope Jared knows me well enough to know I wouldn't disrespect him enough to start shit in his house anyways. That's just not good manners. lol

Yup, One of my neighbors, we used to hang out with them until their kid got to around 3 yr old and became a complete Hellion. They are welcome without the kid, otherwise they get stopped at the front door.

Their kid would come in and if it saw ANYTHING it wanted it would start stuffing things in its pockets money, candy, jewelry and they would not say or do anything about it or discipline them.
My kids didn't even want to be around their kid.

Brent lives like 5 min from me and never invites me over either!

Soon enough! Guest bathroom should be done here in the next month or so, and that's really why I haven't had anyone over.

It is going to be goddamn hilarious when you get done with that thing and someone takes a dump in your master bathroom instead.

I avoid all little children at any cost. I make no excuses for it.

lmao. As soon as the guest bath is done, the master bath is being completely gutted like the guest bath was so it won't even be in working order for some time. Water leaks (in both) have caused some rotted studs, mold damage, etc. Hence why I'm avoiding having people over til the guest bath is done. There was some underlying damage that I wasn't aware of until it was completely ripped out. In the guest bath at least, it looks like the previous owners fixed a water leak prior to me buying the house, but they didn't fix all the damage that leak caused.

Thats the kind of stuff I am dreading. We are starting to look at houses and underlying issues like that are always a possibility. But the way I see it, is you have two options. Pay out the ass for a nice new home, or pay an ok price for an older nice home. Just like new car vs used car.

Yep. My house was built in 72. I still don't regret buying it. I'm just really anal about things being perfect. It's that whole "if it's worth doing, it's worth doing right" mentality my father beat in to my head as a child. It's caused a few headaches, more time, and a little more money (I've done all the remodeling work myself thus far), but I have peace of mind knowing it's done right now. It's also giving me a chance to bring more of the house up to current code, when a lot of these things I wouldn't have screwed with had I not already ripped out the sheetrock, etc.

I will be the first one to play with someone's baby and hand it back as soon as it's diaper time. LOL
From about the age of 2 until 5, I avoid them like the plague.

There are exceptions. It's pretty easy to tell the difference between children that are parented and kiddos who have no boundaries and are allowed to just grow.

My son is 12 and he has his own friends so I don't have to worry about that now. When he was younger my wife had a friend that I hated her kids so she knew never to bring them over.
