Staying home

Just moved in with my daughter and her family and she wants me to stay home and enjoy my grandchildren. Only I’m not sure this is what I want. I love my grand babies, but i not sure I want them 24 -7. Plus they want to pay my bills and take care of me in place of paying a day care. Figure the kids would get more attention and love. Any body have any ideas.

    May be suggest that you can do three days a week but need the rest of the time for yourself and your hobbies/volunteer work etc. It would be a good balance for the children as well so they can socialise with other children.

    Hi Janice,

    You need to be real honest up front. Tell them that you have always wanted time to explore what you want to do…take classes, travel join some clubs. You want to have an “adult” life.

    I cannot imagine being with little children all of the time…been there done that! I loved my children, but no way do I want to repeat the experience! Only under dire circumstances would I be a full time “mom” again!

    Honestly, I think you daughter should understand this. Helping out is one thing, but a full time baby sitter, no way!

    I hope you can be strong in this!
