Your family should feel truly blessed to have such a good momma/nana like youflowerforyou flowerforyou

I totally think asking for a weekend off or just an evening off every week should not be too much to ask for. That way you won't feel overwhelmed.

Good Luck and Cheers to you!!!drinker


That's the word I was looking for...overwhelmed...that's the way I have been feeling lately. Plus the fact that my son and daughter in law are leaving on Saturday for a week long cruise, and I will have the kids all by myself. I have just been feeling overwhelmed.


Why couldn't they have stayed home with their children after not being around them so long and let you go on the cruise so you will be able to have some time for yourself for a change??


They have already sent me on a month long vacation back to the East coast to visit family and friends. They needed this vacation for themselves too. They have been apart for 10 months, in this hellacious war, I think they deserve some alone time themselves.flowerforyou

I vote for talking to them about it....surely they would understand ....you could schedule a day or two off in advance when its' conveinient for them. They might enjoy the quality time with thier kids.

I know I need to move on with my life, somehow, I'm not getting any younger, but I don't want to leave them stuck either. What's a mom to do????


Give your kids the right and the responsibility to be adults/parents.
