Spending Time with Grandchildren

April 11, 2005

Man with GranddaughterMy daughter-in-law has a new 4 week old baby and a 6 year old not yet in school. Fortunately they live within a few miles from me and I work a 5-11 pm shift. I began to sense that she was feeling depressed that she wasn't able to get time to do necessary things . A little afraid of hurting her feelings I decided to take the bull by the horns and offered 2-3 hours of my day to come out and spend time with the kids so she could do something she needed to do, whether it be showering, running an errand or just getting some extra naptime.

She knows now she'll get some time for those things and I get bonding time with the kids. If the baby's sleeping I play with the oldest. I know this won't last forever but cleaning house isn't near as much fun or rewarding. MamawKC

It's always unfortunate when adult children and parents don't get along, especially when there are grandchildren involved. Many states have grandparent's rights to allow visitation in these situations.
