[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 677289, member: 19522"] Hi DoneDad, I am sorry for your wife's health concerns, that is tough. I am sure the stress does not help, either. A nearly two year old is a handful for even young parents, so much more so for grandmothers with health issues. Oh, that is a classic one. This is not babysitting, [I]it is childcare[/I]. We helped our daughter out with childcare and had them living at home. Boy, was that a rough ride. Of course we love our grands, our d cs know this, Tornado ended up using them as a bargaining chip. I also found out, that because she got food stamps, she also qualified for childcare monies. There are resources out there for low income single parents, but why use them if grandma is willing to do everything, and doesn't know any better? UGH. You may want to check with your State, to find out what is available in your area. UGH, again. What is wrong with these people? Good thinking DoneDad, no one needs to go through that.....[I]for trying to help[/I]. She must be a wee bit frustrated? I am wondering whenever her diagnosis is confirmed if you might gently talk with your wife about your concerns for her health, maybe even the doctor might help with this? Keep posting and let us know how everything goes. It is hard enough with d cs, grandchildren in the mix makes it extra challenging. Wishing you peace (((Hugs))) leafy [/QUOTE]
