For a few years now I have worked for my DD looking after her 3 children. All was well until I witnessed my 8 year old granddaughter being accused lying because she'd come home from school and told me about the war going on. I told my DD that her 8 year old was upset. I expected my DD to reasure her daughter and give her a love instead my DD then accused her of lying about were sheheated about the war. The following day I told my granddaughter I believed what she was saying and I wouldn't tell DD in future if it would get her in trouble. My DGD then told her mum what I said resulting in five weeks of not being able tobring grandchildren back for tea once a week as usual. DD is polite but is now treating me as a child minder. I gave up a good job to look after grandchildren and my DD is looking at alternative child care. But she wants to give me 3 months notice or I have to give her 3 months notice. My DD thinks we are going to have a better relationship after all this. I can't see it myself. Anyone else ever been in this situation.
