[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 376468, member: 1233"] Grandparents are the ones who give the children unconditional love and acceptance, and to enjoy the grandkids. Grandmas are NOT Martha on the Brady Bunch. When you visit it should be to enjoy your grandkids, to celebrate special days, to take the time to read to them and play with them and take them out for ice cream right before dinner once in a while. To make each child feel special and loved as an individual and as part of the family that you love. You raised your kids, didn't you? If your daughter is that overwhelmed then maybe she needs to find a part time job to pay for a housekeeper - she could work a few hours while the kids are in school and the cleaner could come in while she is gone. If you keep doing this for her, you are going to miss the special times with the kids AND keep your own kid from dealing with her own responsibilities. She chose the hubby, the kids, the house and to let the other gpa live there. It is HER job to create the life she wants and wants her kids to have. Until she shows some signs of taking control, I would stay at a hotel and not do a single chore at her house unless you want to AND she is working with you. Otherwise she will perpetually be this irresponsible and it will set a bad example for her kids. [SIZE=4]Do you think she would do this for her kids when they are adults with families?[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
