Ethics question
I'll be disappearing for a few days, as my daughter is getting married, here at the Delaware house, on Friday. After a reception, she and spouse are off for a short weekend honeymoon. Mrs. Slick and I are in charge of their 3 children(all under the age of 5), our beloved grandkids, until about noon on Monday. Is it ethical for us to get even by loading the little tackers up with cake, ice cream and donuts in the last two hours on Monday before pickup?

You forgot caffeinated beverages roughly 30 minutes before the hand off.

Re: Ethics question
ethics definitely take a back seat to behind the scenes parenting tactics in many ways so...

HELL YES it's written in to the Constitution of Grandparenting
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

I'd keep the little demons locked up in a room all weekend. Released they be worse than on a sugar high.
