[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 511516, member: 1514"] I have feeling we would end up with the grands in a NY Minute if it was up to Tony. I am not so sure that I could do the tiny ones anymore but I could handle Keyana because she has been raised around me and knows my limitations. She has grown up knowing that Grandma is almost always sitting down or in the bed and she just takes that for granted and realizes that her job is to play quietly on my bed with me and watch TV with me. Sometimes we brush each others hair and play salon..lol. The others just dont get that and expect me to be as active as their parents. I have never been to any of the AA/NA meetings but I did try several of the OA meetings and I was completely less than impressed. If they are run anything like AA and NA, I dont see how they can help. We all tried to talk about how food was an issue for us and we were reprimanded for even discussing food at all. We were told we couldnt even speak about it. Now I found that just astounding because unlike alcohol or even drugs, a person has to eat to survive. We werent informed about how to limit ourselves to good ways of handling food or anything. Just told to follow the 12 step program. I thought that was a crock of bull. [/QUOTE]
