I Need To VENT!!!!

[Guest guest]

My son and daughter -in law are about to divorce, he is a truck driver

on the road, and we promised him that we would keep an eye on his

girls and make sure they are doing ok while he is gone. The problem

is..... as long as daughter -inlaw needs something we hear from her

daily, she asked us to watch the girls this past Friday just for a

couple of hrs while she went x-mas shopping no prob, well a couple of

hrs turned into a 22 hr day!she returned with them that Sat. afternoon

so we could keep them over night " AGAIN, " and as she was walking out

the door, informed me that she had to work Sun. until 3, in the mean

time my back was killing me and the pain was running into my leg from

all the lifting from the day before, on top of that I got the stomach

flu that night, asked her to have her mom come and get the girls, well

mom came and got them at noon on Sunday, in the mean time I have been

trying to get a hold of her for the last 2 days to see how our grand

babies are, and do you think for the life of me she will answer my

calls,their dad comes home tomorrow so we would like to have them, so

he can see his girls when he gets out of the truck after 3 long weeks

w/o his girls, she just won't answer my calls. Any suggestions on how

to deal with this one?The reason the attachment, is because they lived

with us all those little girls lives, and I helped raise them, and it

feels like my own kids have been yanked from me and it hurts!!!!! I

need Help!!!!!!

Hi my thought would be to tell her that it goes both ways. If she

wants your help, she should at least be there for you also. By

answering your calls and letting you know how that children are

doing. And I understand that watching the girls is a pleasure for

you, but you are also helping her and she needs to appreciate that.

Sit down and talk to her as soon as you can get a hold of her. If you

don't nothing will change.

Hope I helped a little.
