[QUOTE="Fran, post: 376395, member: 3"] We, moms, tend to want to make all things right. Unfortunately, you are not allowing your daughter to grow to be the responsible parent and spouse she should. Why would she branch out if it's easier to continue to act like a child. She chose to have 4 children. They are loved and nurtured by your daughter but isn't so keen on house work. She needs to solve that problem on her own or with her husband. You aren't her housekeeper so stop acting like one. They can hire help or they can have a less spotless house. Is she afraid of her husband? If not then she needs to work on her own marriage. Enjoy the grandchildren, pitch in with daughter in the daily chores but no way should you let her make you the "mom". She is the mom. Visit the grandkids when it suits you. Be too busy when it's not convenient. If you feel put upon(and you should) then don't do anything for the house. Just enjoy the grandkids. Your daughter will either rise to the occasion or not but it's on her shoulders and not yours. You raised her right, now she needs to act on what she learned. [/QUOTE]
