What a different lifesyle. I went from single living with my dog and doing what I want with who I want to do it with. To planning, concidering my grandkids and their schedules. My daughter is a wonderful mom, she works hard and provides very well my her children. But as many parents she is not recieving her court appointed child support. We have combimed her our income and we are very confortable. We are looking for a house so we can all have plenty of space and room.

The difficult things are me overiding her instructions to the kids. I have to learn not to do that. I.m used to telling them what to do at my house, now I'm in her house. Well it our house but we just have to adjust.

The kids look at me for an ok when mom says no, it kinda cute, but that has to stop cause we have to work together and the kids have to knw that mom and grandma are on the same page and have the same rules.

Over all, we are doing great. I'm old school so i believe in shores, yes mame, thank your an please. I am very very happy.
