[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 630571, member: 17542"] Pas you are not being selfish at all. You are practicing self-care. Huge difference. Saying people can't live with you doesn't mean you are selfish. I am sure you would be glad to interact with your granddaughter and provide her help, encouragement, love and support in many other ways. I think we are all learning here that we have limits. Even with our own children. Of course we do. We are only human. I think we are finally getting honest, practicing better self-care and setting limits and boundaries that are healthy for them and for us. As I have said before on this site, I really and truly don't believe that God intends for grown people who are related to each other to live in the same house. I know families used to do it, especially in the "old country" and it appears it may have worked better back then, and in that day and time. It really doesn't work well any more in the so-called modern world. Even in the best of circumstances. We like people a whole lot more when we don't have to live with them. Lol, well kinda. You go Pas! It's time for YOU!!!!! [/QUOTE]
