Speaking of tending the grandkids...... I've just talked with my old friend from Connecticut who is 63 and now raising grandkids #4 & 5! She did raise #1 who is now 23, and in between raised #2 & #3 part time, In the case of all 5 the mother was a druggie. It's so unfair! My friend is a sweet, loving, generous person who happened to raise a bipolar daughter and a very foolish son who married a druggie. All 5 grands are doing well thanks to my dear friend. But at a time of life when we should sleep late, go to yard sales and read a lot - maybe take a trip now and again - her life and income are consumed by kids. And she doesn't complain. There must be a special place in heaven for these 'second time around' parents. Maybe one with a spa and fabulous chocolate mousse! And for her DH - an overstocked fishing pond!!!
