I'm sittin here feelin guilty cuz my daughter just gotten out of the hospital havin an emergency gallbladder surgery. I came down with a very nasty head cold, my kidney was acting up pretty bad and causing so much pain. I took care of her two children while she was in the hospital. I have a grandson who is 2 and very very active little guy. Also a beautiful granddaughter who is 3 mons old. They are both wonderful grandchildren. When she got home, I could not go over to her house and help her. There was no possible way for me to do it. I was sick and in pain. I just could not face cleaning her house because I hate to say this she is not actully a good housekeeper. I'm not going to elaberate how bad it is. Her son's toys and stuff are all over the floor. Granted I'm not the world cleanest but I am very neat person. I get major anxiety just walkin across her livin room floor, fearin that I would trp and fall. Especially if I have to carry the baby.
I was worn out from babysittin when she was in the hospital. My hubby told me that it take me two day to recuperate after I babysat. I can't help but have to pick the baby up when I am not suppose to pick up anything heavy. But I did it anyway. I know my daughter espected me to come over and help her. I just couldnt go over there.
I remember there were times when I was her age, I didn't have any family or friends to help me when I was ill. I took care of my 3 kids. Heck I clean my house before my MIL came over to clean it when I just had surgery. Yike.
I guess I needed to vent a bit cuz I am feelin sad and guilty when I know I shouldn't. My hubby have been telling me that I shouldn't and that our daughter shouldn't expect me to go over there when I am not well.

Helping family is very important, but so is taking care of yourself. I hope you feel better soon, and that your daughter recovers quickly.
