I look after my 2 grand daughters for 10/11 hours a day, five days a week, Eldest one is five, baby, 15 months, DD is a secondary school teacher and she drops them off inthe morning. I dress them, give them breakfast, walk to school, then have little one all day, pick eldest up at 3.20 and then they are picked up between 5 and 6, depending on Dd school day ( meetings, marking, after school work) I do get some of the school holidays off but usually have them 2 days a week during them as Dd has lessons to plan, essays to mark(often hundreds of them). I have done this since eldest was nine months. She had one and half days at nursery at three years old, then a year later no two came along. Had them both when mum went back to work from maternity. I have a lovely close relationship with them but boy am i tired by the time they go home! Wish i was younger and fitter( i am 61)
Lack of public toilets in towns.
Passports not in the drawer I always keep them in. Turning the place upside down.
