I don't really know if you can say that I'm raising my grandchild, but my daughter and nine month old grandson are living at home. Yesterday was her first day of college. And she gets free daycare while she's there. That's a HUGE break for me and grandpa! Most of the time when they are here she doesn't really pay much attention to him so that leaves it up to us to interact with him. No pats on the back to us, but I feel if it wasn't for me and grandpa (which the baby calls "da-da") I don't think the baby would have survived a month. I'm looking forward to her finishing school and then moving out. I will miss the baby terribly though! But to anyone else out there who are raising them on their own, my hats off to you!!!
