[QUOTE="Estherfromjerusalem, post: 368648, member: 77"] DDD put it so well. I wanted to reply to this thread but didn't dare, and then DDD said it for me. Having coped with two difficult children of my own (one now aged 40, the other 23 and still at home) as well as six other children (all married and out of the house), I have made it quite clear to my children that I am not the type to babysit their children, my grandchildren. Of course in an emergency I have told them that I will be there for them, but I see that my nerves are not what they were and I find it difficult to be responsible for the grandchildren. Maybe it's because I have my own quite serious health problems. But I think it's simply that I am now 65 and don't have either the emotional strength or the physical strength I used to have. It doesn't mean that I don't love the grandchildren or that they don't love me. Love, Esther [/QUOTE]
