robbo 802 Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 I have recently started looking after my granddaughter as my daughter has gone back to work. I have to get up at 4-45 drive 40 miles then have the kids from 6-45am till about 5-30pm. Thank god i only have to do this a maximum of 3 days week. I look and feel like wylie coyote getting up off the canyon floor when ive had them. I had four of my own so maybe im just getting old. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cragman 2,635 Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 My wife's just took our granddaughter on, five days a week, 7 while 5. I'm home at 4-4.30 and she wears me out in just over an hour. I could choose to let my wife do all the work but I enjoy the short time I have with her everyday! She's just nearly 8 months and never stops. I can always get her to sleep though, I must have the knack. I don't know how the wife does it. I mentioned to my wife that she should take care of our granddaughter before she was born as she had done a good job with our three...So she packed her part time job in and loves having her around. Robbo, you're doing well fella and a grandparents input is important at this stage. Good luck and enjoy if you can Quote Link to post Share on other sites
