[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 685401, member: 13260"] Good morning all. Just back to the San Francisco Bay Area from Seattle. I drove my 7 month pregnant daughter up, she got so sick that we had to stop in Medford, Oregon for a day in their labor and delivery unit to try and stop her from throwing up and the dehydration was causing her to have contractions. At least she managed to do that in a level 3 NICU in case the baby arrived early (she's 31 weeks). They were amazing and how lucky we were to be there instead of out in the middle of nowhere. We did make it eventually up to Seattle and settle her in her new amazing home in Puyallup. This was my spring break from my teaching job. Yikes. So, drove her up in her car, with a very spirited and stubborn three year old boy, and flew home. Actually got 8 straight hours of sleep in my own bed (her little boy isn't big on sleeping, especially in motel rooms) and I'm trying to readjust to being back home before I'm up at zero dark thirty to get to work tomorrow. My difficult grandson was a champ while I was gone, although his mother lost her job, again. Her ADD is so bad that she cannot hold a job, which means I can't retire anytime soon because while I don't care if she loses her apartment and couch surfs at friends houses for the rest of her life, I cannot allow her children to suffer from her idiotic choices and ways of doing things. I'm a little pissed at her, can you tell? Sigh, so it's been a highly emotional week for me, my pregnant daughter has been crying for three days straight at the thought of my leaving and leaving her up there with no family and no friends, and I feel helpless to do make her feel better. Her home is brand new, huge and gorgeous, the neighborhood is safe and beautiful (but not mature trees yet, but the lawns and landscaping the builders put in are amazing) but family trumps all of that, so she's having a very hard time of it. Her husband is a good provider for the most part, but isn't very helpful as a dad and is fairly clueless about many day-to-day things, so she's really on her own. Her toddler son is so obstreperous that she's embarrassed to join a mommy group for support. I told her to do it anyway and she'll find out that her son isn't the only little terror and the support and commiseration will be amazing. [/QUOTE]
