my daughter is still living with me. Baby girl was born Dec 12. Healthy 7 lbs 13. Right now she seems like she might get it together enough to raise them both. really hard to tell, taking it a day at a time. Parenting is hard enough, parenting someone who is supposed to be parenting is harder. The 2 yo is now well bonded with her, and she is doing most of the work with them both. However, the 2yo still goes to daycare so she can catch some rest and I know he's ok while I'm working. Also, I really don't want him to lose his current daycare provider in the event mom can't hack it.When the baby starts sleeping through the night, I may discontinue the daycare. I help with the newborn some, but trying to let her do everything she can. Hard enough providing the financial support. Hope she gets a job in 3 weeks, her track record is bad but I'm hoping she can get something despite the economy and her history. I still see some irresponsibility.Would love it if she could get housing assistance and I could just be gramma. I really hope I'm doing the right thing with the 2yo, I don't want him to get his heart broke if she cant be a good mother and provide for them both.
