we take care of our 9 year old granddaughter and have done so for 4 years
My daughter a single mother who works full time lives with us. The problem is we would like to go on holiday for a few days complete break, but what do we about our granddaughter we have booked a family holiday in August but that will not be a break for us. My daughter wants to come on an overseas holiday, but to a place of her choice. We do not want to hurt her feelings but we can't afford to go during the school holidays,and we want to go where we want and when we want. Does anyone think my granddaughter is too young to come home from school alone [3 minutes walk] and stay home till her mother comes home about 2 hours. She is very self sufficient. I do all the caring for both of them which is hard work and not very much understood by my daughter.
