My hat is off to all of you who are taking on such a challenge. I have one granddaughter who is 22 months old. I keep her one evening a week and she spends the night. My daughter picks her up the next morning. I love her dearly, she is the light of life to us. I am so exhausted when she goes home. But..what the kicker is..she is so calm when it is just my husband, me and Chloe. Once mom and dad walk in the house...there is total chaos. Chloe turns into a different child.
Best wishes to all of you how have taken rearing young children.
Peace and Blessings
