For 12 years I've helped single DD with my one and only GS. We have had really happy times together and still do. It has been a joy. For the last 6 months my elderly mother (94) has been living with DH and me. But, with her, I find myself irritable and snappy whereas with GS I am happy to do anything he asks. I realise I'm being unreasonable as mother is incapable of doing much but, if I'm honest, I resent her being here really which I know is awful. I just wish I could enjoy her being with us as I know it won't be for many years but, at my age of 70, I feel I shouldn't be looking after her. We do have carers who do most of the work but it's all the other stuff. Basically I feel guilty as I am only too happy to indulge my Grandson but feel resentful when mother asks for something. I just think I must be a horrible person and feel really guilty.
What Would You Do in this Position?
