Tired husband

Hi, I have been looking after our grandchild once a week since he was a baby. We also have had him the odd weekend, and for almost a week when his mum had surgery. I do all if the care. His grandad does play with him and they have a good relationship, but he always moans after about the mess and upheaval. He is 68 and I am 66. My husband spends a lot of time in his workshop or the garden even on days that we don't have our grandson. However, he feels he wants peace and quiet and wants me to stop having our grandson, saying it is too much for him. I love having our grandson and he loves to come to us. He starts school in Sept. Am I inconsiderate if I carry in having him?

This is a hard one. I think as you’ve looked after your grandchild for so long it would seem a shame to give that up for the last 6 months. Maybe you could reassure your husband that it’s not for much longer. I assume that you have arranged for your own holidays to be booked in? Be sure these are booked well in advance so that hubby knows some weeks will be child free. I would advise not to take on any more responsibilities. Hard to do. Good luck
