- I'm getting phone calls daily, sometimes late at night, from the nursing home asking me to talk to my dad to try to calm him down. At night he gets very confused, yells, is angry, and says he's going home and tries to leave. It's getting difficult...
- Maybe this isn't appropriate for this group because it's not related to raising my grandson but you've been so supportive.My father is 84 and has had some memory problems and confusion for about a year, so I knew he was in the beginning stages of...
- Hello,I'm new to this group. I'm 59, married, working full time, and raising our grandson who is now 16. My mother had Huntington's Disease and my father and I cared for her at their home for many years until her death three years ago. My brother...
- Our daughter came home for Christmas and brought a boyfriend with her. She had a good visit with her son and he seems to like the boyfriend. She had never mentioned him but he told my son-in-law that they have known each other for a few years but...
- It's going to be a bit crazy for the next few days and I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.
- Someone in our office started discussing teen idols, etc., and brought up Jamie Spears and her pregnancy at age 16. One of my co-workers immediately launched into a tirade, saying "It's all the parent's fault." She went on and on with no one else...
- Just when I thought DD finally was getting better, she found a way to hurt my poor GS again. It was his 16th birthday and last week she told him she was reserving a condo at a waterpark resort & he could bring his friends along for a party this...
- My grandson was injured yesterday at his football game. I ended up rushing him to ER in horrible pain. He had been hit in the groin, they did an ultra sound, and said the cord twisted and cut off the blood supply to one of his testicles, so they...
- I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but when I was a child my best friend, Trudy, was being raised by her grandparents. I learned something from her that has helped with my grandson, and wonder when I read about some of the grandkids who...
- Went to athletic code signing last night and they had a parent's meeting afterward. The parents do a lot for the football players, including feeding them a pasta dinner the night before every home game, feeding them chocolate chip cookies after...
- Anyone else feel this way? I think the most difficult thing about raising my gs right now is the lack of social interaction with my peers. I just don't fit in anyplace other than here, which is great, but it's not the same as going places and...
- Hope this is okay to post here as it is not directly related to raising grandchildren.My father-in-law died last week - he'd been in a nursing home for the past year and had no estate left. He only had a small life insurance policy, so we had to...
- You might have seen me mention that our 15-year-old grandson we're raising is in sports. He's a Freshman, been playing JV and has been suiting up with the Varsity for the past couple of weeks. Last night he played with the Varsity for the first...
- Does anyone know at what age a child is no longer eligible for Medical Assistance and Kinship Grants? Just wondering because my grandson will be 18 at the beginning of his Senior year in high school. Will he be dropped when he turns 18 even though...
- For everyone out there struggling with night feedings, potty training, and the Terrible Two's, take my word for it, time goes by even faster than when our children were growing up.I can't believe my grandson is 15 years old already! Seems like just...
