...I don't like hide and seek games much either.<br />One time when Griffin was still only crawling I 'lost' him in the house. I was frantic, Stew was frantic... hell everyone was frantic trying to find him.<br />We searched under every bed, behind curtains etc... and still could not find him.<br />We were about to call the Police in a mad panic when I thought of double checking under every bed again... because we had valances on every bed... and I found him, under a bed but behind the valance on the far side! I have never been so scared in my life, or so relieved to have found him. I burst into tears!Chris Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03599144462630400401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040438173687206889.post-2910709283203231622014-06-05T07:10:39.480-06:002014-06-05T07:10:39.480-06:00I agree with you and know exactly what you mean. ...I agree with you and know exactly what you mean. My daughter disappeared when she was four. We lived in a large apartment complex and she never drifted far from her brother 15 months her senior. The entire complex was on alert and we all searched and called and looked everywhere and just as I was ready to call the police she came skipping out of a friend's apartment where she had been watching cartoons. Let's just say she never disappeared again without asking or letting me know where she would be.

I've played hide and seek but as of now, the boys are too young to think about just plain hiding and scaring the bejeezus outta Gramma — which I'm sure it would. Poor you. Glad the kids are willing to dumb it down for you.

I will completely go berserk if I can't find them. I don't think you are the slightest bit nuts. It's one thing if you know where they are when they are out of your sight but to just disappear -- oh, no! <br /><br />I remember my grandma taught me how to bake and I remember picking fruit and veggies at their farm and coloring with the special box of crayons they kept and playing dress-up in her room. She wasn't a "play" grandma, but I loved her to bits and remember so much about her. She was "good people."Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040438173687206889.post-73825056173720643352014-06-02T08:25:26.732-06:002014-06-02T08:25:26.732-06:00Yep, my wife has to know where the enitire family ...Yep, my wife has to know where the enitire family is at any given moment. She sings in the choir at church and she is not comfortable until she has spotted where every family member is sitting in the sanctuary. I used to sit in a different location every week just to see how long it would take her to find me. She was not amused.

It is different if it is a known game of hide and seek, but not if they go "missing" on you and won't come out when you call them. And I agree, it in theory is cute to them because they don't realize the seriousness of it, but it too would bother me if they didn't come when called. I think you are wise to let them know this is something you don't want happening.<br /><br />I honestly can't help in your wondering what your grandchildren will remember about you because I didn't get to know 3/4 of my grandparents, them having passed before I was born and my grandmother, my mom's mom only spoke Polish so there was a language barrier. What I really remember about her is she was afraid of thunder storms and hated to be alone during them, so when we still lived in the area she lived, if my mom knew my uncle was at work (he lived with her), and she heard a storm in the distance, she would gather us up to go over there to be with her during the storm. At a young age of seven and below, it made a lasting impact on me so when I had kids, I made sure they weren't afraid of thunder storms (in fact we went the other way, LOL, they welcomed storms as long as there wasn't damage from them).<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040438173687206889.post-24315003344931691312014-06-01T18:43:54.565-06:002014-06-01T18:43:54.565-06:00Not a good thing to do to anyone.

I was in such a panic that I too nearly called the police. He knew where he was and didn't understand why I was upset. My grandkids play this game even now that they are teenagers with each other. I just make sure they know they better not hide from me.Sally Wesselyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470453773515491625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040438173687206889.post-4550963326219799172014-06-01T17:18:49.302-06:002014-06-01T17:18:49.302-06:00I can understand why you would not be amused.

There are other things our grandkids have found amusing and we did not: throwing $20 bills down the air ducts, unrolling all the toilet paper and running through the house with it....but these were not frightening. Thinking you've lost a kid could definitely be scary.

I would be alarmed and certainly not amused if I was in charge of watching children and one went missing and did not respond to my calls. Too many bad things happen to children without adult supervision. Hiding and not answering is not fun or funny and parents who take it lightly are wrong. You are a responsible, conscientious grandparent and should feel proud of yourself.<br /><br />Have a great week, dear friend Jeanie!Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839935472941264414noreply@blogger.com
