Aww. I'm sure your daughter is just trying to have the kids have some stability. And she knows you are that for them. My three younger kids have been staying with my mom since the day they got out of school for summer too. Grandma and grandpa don't want them to come home. When I try to pick them up my dad asks when "his" kids r coming home. I am hoping that I have surgery before school starts again.

Most of the time I hate to see them leave, mostly because I know things at home for them should be a lot better. My mom had a stroke and requires round the clock care and my dad is very frail and does dialysis 3 times a week. I moved them in with me about 6 months ago to take care of them. I also have a 33 you're old with cerebral Palsey and she has needs that must be met.

When the grandkids come now I can't give them all if my attention like I did before and kids nowadays feel the need to be entertained so when they get bored they pick at each other till there is a screaming match or one of them slugs the other one. I have days where everything seems to go wrong and there's not enough of me (even being this size) lol, to go around...

Both my parents and my daughter are all on different diets and the kids don't usually want what I fix for them and sometimes I can't blame them... Lol so with everyone in this house sometimes I fix 4 different meals to please everyone...One of the things I look forward to is the extra amount if energy and the lack of chronic pain after my surgery...I'm trying to fit me into the plan of getting healthy so I can be better at taking care of everyone else. My new BF of the last 5 months has been a God send and he will be the one to go through this surgery and be there for my aftercare. He has 3 weeks vacation to use if need be and about 25 days of comp time so I'll be in good hands. I just pray everyone else don't run him off... Lol

Lucky for me he really cares about my family and they love him. I've been truly blessed.

Tammy, it sounds like your grandchildren are old enough to learn to cook for themselves? They could peel potatoes, trim green Beans , learn to make pie crust, ( my 26 year old niece was delighted to see me make piecrust from scratch, and decorate the edges like Martha Stewart) (no sugar in my pies) even learn to make bread from scratch (get whole wheat recipes- much healthier) - i did all those things by freshman year. Then have them set table and serve.

You sound like a wonderful example for your grandchildren. Wishing you the best! Sher.
