He is just two and is at the separation anxiety stage. His parents want to go away for three or four days and leave him with us. We are in our 70s, love our grandson dearly and often look after him for a day or half a day. However, I'm really worried about this stay as we have no backup here and I don't know what we'd do in an emergency. There are no other family members close by and his parents would be a day's travel away. Am I unreasonable to worry about this - what is one of us was taken ill or there was some other sort of emergency. We've got no one who could look after him even for a short period.
Is it me or am I getting mixed messages
