My daughter assumed we would look after her kids, ages 9 and 7, five days a week. She became upset when we were told it was too much for us. So, out of anger, she told us that we cannot visit them anymore. Our daughter has always been very stubborn. I know we will ultimately have to listen to her demands. But I and my husband are physically not so strong as to deal with two energetic kids anymore. I do not know how to deal with this. She is our only child, I cannot let her remain angry with me.
Saying no is always better than saying yes and suffering later. If you feel like you are not physically strong to look after 2kids you should talk to your daughter and tell her the problem. The relationship between mother and daughter is so pure she will start talking to you soon and everything will be fine once she stables her anger.
Hello dear,
Please understand that you have every right to say No. You have completed your responsibility of raising your children and making them independent. You have no obligations whatsoever, no matter how stubborn your daughter gets.
Your daughter is a mature adult, I am sure she will figure out to way to handle her kids.
You need not take this responsibility unless you yourself want to.
Please message me if you want some moral support, I myself have grandkids, I can totally relate.☺️
