Hello distaffgran and welcome if you are new. I think there are two threads running on this subject which may be why you haven't had many replies yet. From what you say it seems you are asking about helping with child care rather than providing full time care, is that right? I face that dilemma at the moment. I have looked after my DGS for the last year while DD is at uni and I also work full time evenings and weekends, so it has all worked out well. However my job is about to be radically reorganised and I will no longer be able to do both, so I have to make a big decision. I enjoy working and need the money, but I adore my GS and my daughter will not be able to complete her degree without my support. It is a very difficult decision, particularly as I always worked when my own children were small and I wanted to have more time when grandchildren came along, rather than still be juggling.
nellie you are remarkable
