два дедуся обсуждают воспитание своих внуков

Alan: I remember when my kids were that age—you’ve
really got to be on the ball. Can’t turn your back for a
minute before they’re already up to something.

Frank: Yeah. **Don’t keep up with ’em like I used to**. Two hours
and I’m bushed. But I tell ya, I’m having a blast being a
grandfather. Not like with your own kids at all.

Alan: For sure . . . You ** get to be a pushover without any of
the guilt! **
Frank: Yeah . . . Like the other morning, I was baby-sitting.
Well, the girl got it in her head that she wanted ice
cream at 9 a.m.. She was set on it. At first I thought . . .
No. Bobby’d have a fit. But then, I thought, hey, it’s not
MY kid! So I caved in and gave it to her. Ice-cream for
breakfast! Can you believe it?

По-моему, pushover -- это не просто тот, кто уступает, а тот, на ком все всегда ездят, свесив ноги.
