MY DAUGHTER ASKED ME TO BABYSIT MY GRANDSON INSTEAD OF GOING ON MY LONG-AWAITED VACATION.
I let my daughter move into my house after her husband left her and my grandson. I pay the expenses at home, and she pays for daycare and the baby things (diapers, formula, etc.)
I, 56, have a hectic routine where I work until 5 PM, and from 6 PM to 8 PM, I stay with my grandson until my daughter arrives. So, I decided to take a month off next month to rest.
And here my daughter learns about it and asks me to BABYSIT HIM THIS MONTH to save money on daycare.
I really want to rest and a 14-month-old baby who is walking and curious...I know I won't get that rest, but I can't help but feel guilty about my daughter's situation. I love my grandson, but it is also my free time.
What would you do in my place?
