Are they your son's children? Is he worried that it's all too much for you? I wouldn't let what other people say influence your decision necessarily, but maybe they see something you don't.

I look after my 2 grandkids aged 2 and a half and 16 months respectively , 2 days a week
My husband is older than me , and is partially disabled
He’s also not into kids that much so can’t help me much
I have a very energetic springer spaniel
Because of this , loads of people are telling me I should only do one day a week
My sisters , my husband and my son all say it
I do find it hard but I love the kids and they bring me joy in what is at the moment quite a depressing existence especially with my husband deteriorating physically and to some extent mentally
Anybody who might have pearls of wisdom on the matter would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
