I live in Paris with my new partner (after a horrendous marital breakup four years ago) My eldest daughter has a one year old gorgeous baby buy adn I make sure I go back to see them every month. However, he has suffered a lot with ill health (nothing serious thankfully) like ear infections, stomach viruses etc) s much so that every other week he has something wrong.
My daughter now works 3 days a week, luckily from home, so that if her little boy is unwell she can collect him from nursery, which he loves, and is only 10 minutes walk away. Her problem is that if he is at home unwell she can't work and gets behind.
This afternoon she face booked a public message that she is having a problem with him not taking his meds (he currently has anther ear infection and tonsillitis, on top of being given his MMR last Friday) and of course today she hasn't worked at all and is desperate to catch up.
I replied privately that if she needed me to I could get Eurostar tomorrow morning and return back to Paris at the weekend but it was £130 (which I don't have, on top of already booking my fare home the following week already.) Her reply was 'I don't have the money Mum and Ceri (her husband) is off on Friday' Not sure how to take this - if she needs me then am I wrong in thinking it is up to her to offer to pay half my fare? As her husband is home on Friday anyway she can catch up with work then, so I am not going, but how do other long distance grans cope when their family needs them?
Thanks for any advice!
