First of all its great that they are paying your bills. I know a lot of people that do that and get nothing for it. I would just be honest and let them know that you also need some time for just "you" time. Do you live in the same house? Is there a way to make a separate little apartment (over the garage perhaps)? Just be honest that you need a bit of your own life too and I'm sure they'll work something out with you.


I live in the same house. I have my own room, but no time to go "hide". Here's an example, yesterday they were both gone from 7:30 a.m until 11:30 pm. between meetings, pt and finally work.





You need to move on to do your own thing! Not only will you be miserable but so will your grandkids if you continue. That wouldn't be good for any of you. Sounds like you know what you want to do you just don't know the how and when.


I think you may be right, Gita

That's the most unselfish thing a grandparent can do! Just ask for weekends off every now and then.


I am so proud of my son and daughter in law for the path they have chosen, and I love my grandchildren. Just wish I knew of a way to take time for me. Anybody know some places for me to go in Arkansas, that I don't have to be afraid to go by myself, since I don't have a datehappy

<-------------- Lives in a town you can't see when you drive through. Not even one store!

:heart: I love it.


Don't get me wrong, I love living in the small town. I've just not had the opportunity to even get out and make friends. I have been here since September of last year, and been with the kids 24/7

Ok, let me change direction a little. I live in a little tiny town (300). Nothing to do here and don't know how to get anywhere. I can get to the next town, but nothing there either. I am quite shy, to be honest. I don't like going out and doing things by myself. I guess I just have myself in a pickle.

Yikes!!, you can't bail on family


No and I won't...I just don't know how to tell them that I need some ME time. And at the same time don't know when that time would ever be.

I am living with my son, daughter in law, and my two grandsons. My son and his wife are in the Air Force. They were both deployed at the same time, so moved me in with them so I could keep the boys till they got home. They are both home now, but I am still here. They still depend on me to watch the boys. They work such strange hours, between meetings, PT (in the mornings) and work (they work 2nd shift), that there is no way they can put the boys in daycare. My son pays my bills and such, and I am grateful, but I have no life outside this house. I know I need to move on with my life, somehow, I'm not getting any younger, but I don't want to leave them stuck either. What's a mom to do????
