i feel I need to vent or hear what others have to say if they are going through any of this.
My husband and I are retired. I am 57 he is 63. He has no children of his own and I have 3 grown children. And we have 3 grandchildren. 2 girls who are 2 and 1 girl who is 3 months.
I have waited for so long to be a grandparent and wanted to be this fun loving grandparent. One that I never had.
here is my problem. My daughter who has 1 of the 2 year olds and the 3 month old has asked if we could watch them Monday thru Friday. She just started a job and her husband also and they are both going full time to school. My Daughters husband isn't the best son I law, but I tolerate him for my Daughters sake
my daughter is trying harder to find day care somewhere other than us because for one, and a big one because she feel that her step dad, my husband doesn't really want them here ( ran out of room will explain more later)
Continued... well tonight he said to me, " I don't mind having them BUT how long are we going to have them? 2 months, years etc? We're not a day care!"
I couldn't believe he said that. It's not like we do anything anyway. He doesn't really act like the grand father type. It really hurts me a lot.
So what do I do? I love watching my grand kids. So now do I give them up because of how HE feels?
This is a man that I have married twice. Long story. Maybe I should have learned my lesson the 1st time. I just didn't think he would be like this.
