Those are long hours for you and for your grandson. The family must get up really early and perhaps your grandson is over tired which may make him more difficult at times. Does he have a sleep in the day? How old is the little lad? Of course you are worn out and you must say so. Lay it on the line. They must find a different solution. So sorry that you have this situation and hope it can be resolved very soon.

Easter is on the horizon. Tell them that is your cut off point. You are sorry but you are too tired and cannot do daily childcare. Decide what you will do - one day a week or two afternoons or perhaps nothing. Be firm.

I’m so tired of being daycare for my grandson. He was kicked out of daycare and I’ve been watching him for the last five months four days a week 6am until 4pm while both parents work. I’m so tired and burnt out. I just want to stop. They are not even trying to find a new daycare for him. I’m getting very depressed. I love the little boy but am not a happy grandma that he deserves. I do my best playing and chatting with him. I don’t know what to do. I wish I could just go to sleep and never wake up.
