I have had to refuse baby-sitting my two grandsons, aged 3 and 1. Their parents were going to be a good hour from home. I was to take over at 4.30 and prepare the boys' meal, feed them and put them to bed. The 3-year old I can do anything with and for, but the little one is walking now and very fast to find anything dangerous to put in his mouth, etc. They both know me well, although I have never fed the little one or put him to bed. I think I could have coped 20 years ago but my daughter was 41 when she had her first, and I'm now 75. When I write this, I think I must be a wimp. What do other grans think?
