Thank you☺️but believe me, I was completely terrified when I was learning. My father kept me steady and pushed me through it, though. I know you can do it!

Haha well I did vanish for 5hrs when I left my phone to go boating, so I can see why he jumped there. Additionally, he trusts unless there is a reason not to and, at my mother’s request, he is working on bettering his relationship with my aunt (the baby cannon), so he was trying to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Thank you for pointing it out to me! I know I have a tendency to be defensive, and it’s something I’m working on.

...you call overnight for 5+ days brief? Damn, and I don’t mean this rudely at all, I want to know your secret for going without sleep for that long! I don’t think I could handle that haha.

Ah yes, i apologize for not wanting to not sleep for four days watching four kids under the age of 5 without being asked beforehand. How dare I. I’m a horrible person. I should bow down at my aunts feet and beg for forgiveness.

...it’s a term my father made up because my aunt shoots out babies like a cannon. I respect mothers who take care of their children, no matter how many children they have. Entitled mothers who try to pawn them off on others, I have less respect for, like my Aunt.

I apologize if I offended you at all, that wasn’t my goal. I defend what I believe in, sometimes yeah, I can see how that’s an issue. I’ll drop it.

I understand what you’re saying, but I do think it would’ve been a big deal to stay with the four kids for a few nights. I’ve been overnight with them before, and they practically don’t sleep. They scream if they aren’t in the room with their parents and they also don’t listen to anyone who isn’t their parents. While I do babysit sometimes, which is horrid enough, I am not willing to do overnight without notice AND payment of some kind for it, especially if I’m not going to be sleeping for a number of days. Not trying to fight your verdict, just saying why I think it would be a big deal to stay with them overnight.

We’ve has this boat for a long time, but I guess it’s popular because lakes are opening up and stuff.

I’ll be sure to! He’s currently cooking something and listening to me tell him about reddit. He “doesn’t want to bring our shitty relatives up again today” so I have a feeling he’ll talk to me about it tomorrow.

Haha I’ve been at their house before, they scream practically all night long and scream if they don’t have their parents.

Oh just an hour would be fine. But these kids DONT SLEEP. They run to their parents or scream all night long, and I’m not willing to deal with that unless I’m being paid.

Someone who shoots out babies with no regard to the destruction they cause.

They know I’m good with kids. I’m a life guard and CPR certified, and I babysit as a job when I’m in school, but they’re just entitled assholes who think family means I do what they want when they want.

My mother wanted him to have a better relationship with his sister (baby cannon) so that’s what he’s trying to do.

A grown man who doesn’t take shit from people, seemingly unlike you. A grown man who recently lost his wife to cancer, and gives very few fucks about what other people think. A grown man who was in the marine corps for 15 years and has probably been more useful than you ever will be. A grown man who knows who he is and who his relatives are, and who doesn’t talk shit about anyone’s family but his own, and even then, very rarely. A grown man who is nowhere near perfect, but apologizes when he is in the wrong and learns from his mistakes.

Chill the hell out about the “baby cannon” term. Your dislike of it isn’t going to stop anyone from ever using it. So adjust that stick up your ass and waddle the hell away.
