Next time, just throw a bucket of icewater on them....
pubwrite08: Because you did not want to watch the grandkids???
Yes I wanted her to take her older daughter with them when they went to pick up his son, but he needed to do some things first and did not want to take her. But he does this every week end both ways. Next week end they want to go to his house and move things around for when we move in at the end of the month. It is about a hr, from here.
I live with my daughter and grand kids and is moving with her into his house at the end of the month. I will then also be helping with his son during the summer when he is working.
kitty01: Like I said I do not know what is wrong with me, I just seem to have my nose bent out of joint.
Honestly, Kitty, when a few generations (3 in your case) are in position to live under the same roof and (I assume) with no much space for privacy for each of them, there is always something wrong
People need their space and privacy. This way everybody loves each other and happy with each other. My daughter and I live in 15 min walking distance from each other. I love them dearly, see them all a few times a week, talk on a phone daily, but for the life of me can't imagine living all together. Love having kids over for a couple of days in my place whenever I can, but it's my call.
There is nothing wrong with you. You just feel being used and they feel they are entitled to use, or it seems so from your post.

She keeps telling me I have no choice as there is no one else to look after them, if I do not do it she will not be able to return to school in September or work part time. I cannot do much housework because of my knees but I do not like she thinks she can just leave anytime she wants as I am here. She why not.
