6 months? Good lord. That’s a cheeky ask.
Maybe your granddaughter can go to nursery or school nearby, to be arranged by her mother of course.

Two weeks ago my step daughter and our 4 year old granddaughter announced that they were coming for a visit. We were over the moon to spend precious time with our granddaughter, however it was then announced that they were staying for six months to escape the winter in Canada. I feel resentful that this wasn’t made clear before they travelled, and I’m at my wits end how to entertain a four year old on a daily basis as her mum WFH. OH still works part time so it’s down to me mostly. I managed to speak up about sharing meal prep. which has helped. But I miss my peace and quiet and days when I just want to chill and read or watch mindless tv. I’m trying to put on a happy face as my husband obviously delighted to have them here, and I’m also keeping up with my hobbies, but I’m still feeling resentful.
