Hi palliser and welcome. I think i'v posted about this myself. I had 3 children myself. With my husband in the army for most of their childhood I raised them alone. When my first group of grandchildren arrived in my early 50 I often had 3 or 4 of them together. It was hard work but we all had such a fab time. The children called our days out' nanna's adventures' 10 years later when the second bunch arrived its a completely different story. I have them once a week I do as much as I can but I could cry with exhaustion when they've gone home. To be honest there are times when I dread the day I'm due to have them. I love them with all my heart. They love me. So in my case I think it's age. I work 4 long days. Have them one day a week that leaves 2 days for everything else. Including recharging my batteries. It's hard work, it's demanding, our houses are not set up for children anymore. We have to comply with other peoples rules, we want to give our grandchildren a good time so feel pressured. Don't beat yourself up about it. Your not alone in feeling like you do. The problem is were older now. I too am fairly fit 60 year old. Yes that's not old but it's too old to be climbing 30 steep steps, cocking my leg over a slide and whooshing down....but I'll keep doing it because I love them
