Jim didn't even care about his own kids until they were old enough to fish and play baseball with him.

lol.

sigh - that's a cute kid!

I love kids, it's just when you get to the point of parents detailing every thing they do - from the 100 on the spelling test to being named starting pitcher on the travel t-ball team. I ..... just .... don't ..... care.

I'm a selective kid person. I'm a complete sucker for babies/toddlers. I could play with them for hours, doesn't matter whose they are. Once they get to the stringy age (my term for around 7-11), I have no interest. Unfortunately, that's usually when you hear about their grades, their traveling teams, etc.

The ones with really ugly kids are the worst.

Weird, I'm almost the opposite. Babies and toddlers do nothing for me, but kids aged 5-highschool for some reason love me. My dad says this is because I have the mental makeup of a 12 year old, but I called him a "poopyhead", so I think we all know who won that argument.

Here is a tip for parents(or grandparents) when talking about your kid: Leave the words "percentile" and "level" out of the discussion. Nobody wants to hear how Junior is in the 95th percentile for height, or is reading the 4th grade level.

When your kids get to be 18 or so, that's when we want to hear the stories. Because that's when the cops are going to knock on your door at 2am with Junior in hancuffs. That we want to hear.

Why must you always bring up my warped high school years?
