[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 753650, member: 23706"] People used to wonder what was wrong with those crazy hippie,pot smoking baby-boomers and here we are. We grew up. But our parents let us grow-up. Most of them did anyhow. Things are not the same these days. I think the biggest problem with todays adult kids are US, willing to jump through hoops to grant all their wishes and then wondering why they are so bossy, entitled and ungrateful. We ask nothing of them. They make all the demands. I did this too, but I learned not to be a slave to my child ever again. You are not required to potty train your grand. Most millennials work and manage to potty train their own kids. I would not babysit for my beloved grands full time. I work too and have outside interests. Your daughter may be more humble if she had to use other sitters as well as you. No other sitter will potty train her child. I hope she doesn't live with you, but if she does, SHE is the mother of your grand. It is not your job title to watch the child so that your daughter can party at night. If you do that. Your needs are important. You raised your daughter and deserve respect. Don't let her boss you around like I let mine. That is no good for us or for the growth of our allegedly grown children. Too many of us ask "how high" when our kids tell us to jump. I did! But never again. Our parents did not cater to our every whim. I believe our desire to over please our grown children is sometimes our biggest shortcoming. Yes, I mean me. Only you know where you stand. God bless you. You do not need to do everything for your daughter just because she has a job. [/QUOTE]
