[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 533153, member: 3305"] Pinevalley, Thank you SO MUCH for the congrats and the hugs...You're a sweety. I had the other 2 grandbabies til 4pm yesterday and suspect it will take a few days for me to recoup after taking care of them for several days. I so wish that I really could help the grandbabies... I just know that I sent them home to a daily life of chaos. Here, they were up by 7am, Fed by 8am, walk down street or to the park between 11 and noon, Nap or lay down between noon and 2pm, dinner at 5pm, bath at 7pm, bed between 8 and 10pm. Sigh...but daughter in law will let the kids be up all hours of the night and they have absolutely no structured schedule...drives me crazy. I don't know how she will manage with 3 of them after her mom goes back to work in a week. I even suggested she put a high lock that she can slide back and forth on her bedroom door at her mom's...so that when she leaves the baby in the bedroom for a minute she doesn't have to worry about what other two grandchildren may be doing...particularly 2 1/2 yr old granddaughter who is VERY excited about the new baby. I do plan to go over to her mom's and see her a couple of times a week and take the older two for a walk or to the park or grab a bite to eat so that daughter in law can have some time to herself or with new baby. I had NO help when mine were little...so I want to be there as much as possible for daughter in law and the grands. Esther! Hi sweety lady. Yes, being there in the operating room as baby Jordyn came into the world was an experience I will always cherish. I know daughter in law appreciated me staying there with her while they put her back in place and stitched her up once baby Jordyn was taken out of the operating room. Esther, I have no idea what is going on with young difficult child right now. No word from him for over a week now! Of course daughter in law was in the hospital as of Tuesday morning and only got back home to her mom's last night. But, I haven't even received a letter in the mail from him. My hope is that I get to Walgreens today and am able to print some pics of baby Jordyn to send to young difficult child. I hope he is okay...I think tensions can run very high in prison and fights happen easily (obviously, over dumb stuff like lending two soups out and not getting the favor returned, geez, what a life they lead there in prison!...SIgh) Well... I also have ADDITIONAL NEWS too. Oldest difficult child and his wife had their second daughter late yesterday afternoon! Sadly, I got no phone call from oldest difficult child but husband got a text with a couple of pics...one with the baby alone and one with baby, oldest and his wife. No idea what time she was born or what she weighed. No idea for sure, what her name is either. The last phone conversation I had with oldest difficult child about a month ago involved me telling him that I thought he had "entitlement issues". As he feels very strongly about the more affluent great grands sharing their wealth etc with him while he is struggling with new family, bills, payments, etc. Yes, he does work extremely hard...but so did husband and I and there is nothing wrong with a few or even several yrs of struggling.

And so...No word from him on Mother's Day and now, no word from him to me with the announcement of their new baby yesterday. But anyway, I am a grandmother to 5 grandchildren!!! I can hardly believe it. Esther, when I was little...I watched alot of TV alone (shows with big families or at least mom/dad and a couple of kids) I didn't meet my dad til I was 17 and my mother worked and I came home after school to an empty house. There were even other kids in the neighborhood who could not play with me (back then) because i had no adult supervision. I dreamt of having a big family...It is ALL I really ever wanted from life.
