[QUOTE="WiscKaren, post: 118686, member: 4507"] Hi everyone! First, thank you all for your support in my previous posting(s). Daughter called this afternoon, wondering if I could babysit for a few hours. Since its been a few weeks since I seen grandson, and I was surprised that she called, I said "Yes, for a few hours." She came over -- and I did it! I did not ask her how court went, what she was going to do that she needed a sitter, nor how the new sitter (who I cannot stand) is doing with baby while she is at work. (I was babysitting for her while she went to work, but she suddenly decided a new "friend" -- who I know has a criminal record -- should do it.) My daughter looked absolutely beat, but I did not even say anything about that! It was tense, but small talk was made. She even stayed over for supper. When she left, I gave baby a kiss and told my daughter "Love ya, take care of yourself." I did not ask her when I could see baby again (now that about killed me, but I bit my tongue). She did tell me she went out apartment hunting (she currently rents from us a 2-bedroom flat and we charge her $500/month) and she was telling me she couldn't find anything as nice for that much money and all I said there was, "I wish you the best of luck and I hope you can find something nice and affordable for you and baby." In the past, I would have been butting my nose into it, giving advice, telling what neighborhood she should go in or not go in, etc. etc. I'm so proud of myself!! I wouldn't have been able to do it without all your support! Thank you, thank you! [/QUOTE]
