Thank you all for your input on this thread.
I was listening to a Womans Hour programme about Kinship carers. I felt quite upset at the end of the segment when the host said that most grandparents would jump in to help help with looking after their grand children but its not as simple as that.
The social worker emailed me the other day saying that I may get weekly visits to my grandchildren. That it what I think I should aim for as I have no room in my own owned home. I am a single woman with a health issue that could become a bigger issue in a decade.
I have never been able to be a proper grandmother,,,,always a carer for my daughter and there fore her children..... Mum the taxi, the banker, the decorator, the hosp appointment arranger....
I guess I'll have to see what happens over the next few weeks..
