[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 77777, member: 1991"] On Tuesday difficult child 3 & I went shopping and took mother in law (Grandma) with us. It was a bit awkward, trying to fit everything in. I had a doctor's appointment late morning, then difficult child 3 had his drama class in the afternoon. Trying to juggle it all and all the driving I'd need to do (a drawback of living in such grand isolation) made it easier to just bring difficult child 3 with us. mother in law came along because she also is isolated since moving near to us, so I compensate by helping her get to the major shopping centre. It was a long day and we were tired. I got difficult child 3 to help me carry mother in law's things in to her kitchen and then she gave me a big hug. difficult child 3, already halfway out the door, came back to her for a hug and said, "How can I leave without getting a lovely big kiss and hug from my grandma?" Grandma was touched - this was a lovely gesture, totally unprompted. Then difficult child 3 continued with, ..."besides, I never know when it could be the last time!" Now mother in law is getting rather frail, she has even been talking about how her days are numbered, but this was a bit of a shock - these kids can be VERY blunt sometimes! Marg [/QUOTE]
