My beautiful five...My sister is the exact same way. My beautiful five-year-old niece lives with my parents, and she takes up time with her when it's convenient or when she wants to "show her off." I take up time with her whenever I can, and she is ten times more likely to agree to go home with me for the night than with her own mother. In five years, she has spent two nights with her mother, those two nights being nights my mother was in the hospital. <BR/><BR/>I just think about how many memories she is missing out on...Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10191259040561542466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4623019067935770023.post-52624883915583343122009-03-05T23:21:00.000-05:002009-03-05T23:21:00.000-05:00You are such a good aunt.

I think the zoo would be an awesome outing for a 5 year old. She will be amazed. Riverbanks is wonderful and has so many different things to enjoy.<BR/>There are tons of places to eat out at Harbison Blvd. that would be kid-friendly...I know how picky kids can be! There's not much right around the zoo unless you count Waffle House (just kidding). <BR/>Harbison has every chain restaurant you can think of- Applebee's, Ruby Tuesday, Chili's, Olive Garden, Outback, Macaroni Grill, Carrabba's, O'Charley's, Copper River, Bonefish and plenty of fast food.<BR/><BR/>However, if you want to come into downtown & the Vista, which is just a short trip from the Zoo, there are some great restaurants, too. They've got Carolina Ale House (also at Harbison), Wild Wing Cafe (also at Harbison), Blue Marlin, Liberty Taproom, Mellow Mushroom, Five Guys (Harbison has this too) and plenty more.<BR/><BR/>I guess it depends on where you are coming from, what time of day you plan to eat, etc. If you email me at usc_emily@hotmail.com I can give you suggestions that are more tailored to fit your needs and desires!!USCEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00852040429325597281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4623019067935770023.post-88588287809140109652009-03-05T12:34:00.000-05:002009-03-05T12:34:00.000-05:00Wow, thanks for your honesty, I appreciate hearing...Wow, thanks for your honesty, I appreciate hearing it. I totally agree and empathize with your point. How you feel is very valid and it's a shame that other people do not recognize their behaviors. I'm glad the kids have you and Mr. Potts, it sounds like y'all have a good time together!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4623019067935770023.post-89236072944262065562009-03-05T12:30:00.000-05:002009-03-05T12:30:00.000-05:00You have absolutely no idea how much I can relate ...You have absolutely no idea how much I can relate to this post and your previous one. We have the exact same situation in our family. All that I can do is show my niece and nephew how much I love them and how much my husband and I want them to be a part of our lives. We're having them over for a "family" weekend in April...just the four of us!<BR/><BR/>I 100% understand where you are coming from and feel some comfort that I am not the only one that deals with a situation like this.i. me. minehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08286942979555632816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4623019067935770023.post-32881030510843223172009-03-05T12:23:00.000-05:002009-03-05T12:23:00.000-05:00I completely understood what you were saying.You a...I completely understood what you were saying.<BR/>You are a great aunt!Whitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964719948987285048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4623019067935770023.post-6820203125734133012009-03-05T12:22:00.000-05:002009-03-05T12:22:00.000-05:00Thank goodness for you and your mom, they are bles...Thank goodness for you and your mom, they are blessed to have you....BarbBarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15291929634822349553noreply@blogger.com
