We look after grandchildren three days a week but have plenty to occupy us the days we don’t see them.In school holidays it is just two days a week as one daughter is a teacher.
Our grandchildren are 5,3 and 1 but I am very aware that as they get older we will see less of them.I cherish the time we have with them but also enjoy the days we don’t have them.
I saw friends of my mum who invested their whole lives in their grandchildren and became depressed when the children didn’t need or want to spend as much time with them.Sadly we can see the same happening with my sister in law.
It is right that our children and grandchildren have their own lives.We can cherish and love them and enjoy the times we are with them but personally I think it’s important we have our own lives too.
