Re: Grand Parents Babysitting
We used to live in the same house as out grandparents till I was 6, when my mother was at work helping my father, my daddi was walking me to school. When my mother was cooking food for 13 people, my daddi was the one feeding me with her hands. I wouldnt call it babysitting though.
However, once we moved out and as we grew older, each one of my siblings and I have taken it in turns to live with our grandparents to help look after them. In fact, two of my siblings still live with them, and they actually care for them much more so than my grandparents daughter in laws and sons. These are my dads parents.
I don't think I would be anything without my grandparents. They don't 'control' us, but do suggest ways in which we should live our lives, however, if we don't follow their 'suggestions' they are still there for us no matter what, as we are there for them.
