My mum was severely disabled and my children have fond memories of the endless games she played with them, not least because they had to roll her dice and move her counters. No having to wait about for their turn?

Foyle what problems do you have? I have problems with my limbs but my grandson's are growing up with knowing nannie can't do some things. I can't get on the floor so we do things on there little table with me in the armchair or at the dining room table. When I am in a lot of pain we do things that are easier for me. I walk with a stick and they love walking with it like nannie.

Unfortunately I got ill when I was 29 so our children have grown up with a mom who can't do some things. But it has never held me back.

Without knowing what you can and can't do can't really give you any tips.
