[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 755065, member: 18516"] I am so glad to hear you are putting you first!! Self care is an absolute 100% must be done. It sounds like you are also setting good boundaries with your daughter limiting the time you will watch her children. Notice how I said her children and not your grand children. Of course they are your grand kids but they are her children. A very good friend of mine watches her grands during the day and her daughter pays her. I asked my friend why she charges her daughter and she told me "my time is worth something too" She charges her daughter less than what a typical day care would charge so in that regard, she is helping her daughter and son-in-law out. She also explained that her daughter would have to pay someone for day care anyway and by doing it this way, she is not taken advantage of. She charges by the hour and if her daughter or son-in-law are late picking up the kids then they are charged for that extra time. Something you might want to consider. Again, I'm really glad you are putting yourself first! :staystrong::group-hug: [/QUOTE]
