DD1 married first and had her three children before DD2 who has one little boy.
I had just retired when DGS1 was born, Paw was well enough to be left for the occasional night and I enjoyed doing babysits and helping with childcare.
Fast forward nearly 7 years and I am not needed anything like as much for the older 3 DGCs although I have had them overnight a couple of times. I no longer have Paw to worry about so in theory I am freer but I have Hattie and have not had a great winter health wise.
I have helped out with DGS3 (DD2’s little boy) recently when DD was working in Stratford, but do less than I did with the others and never overnight, he is much clingier, perhaps his age, perhaps because he has no siblings.
My point is that if I have been “booked”by one DD and then have to disappoint the other I just feel so guilty
Is it a mother’s /granny’s place to feel guilty whatever I do?
Or should I just harden my heart and let it flow over me?
Neither DD has actually said anything so perhaps I am imagining it?
