And both of my kids had a hard time with the divorce, but these opportunities gave her a chance to get away from it all and show some responsibility. I surely wouldn't say yes right off, but I wouldn't say no either!!
But that was her Grandmother NOT GREAT Grandmother. Therein lies part of my problem woth the whole idea. The lack of maturity on the part of the one just turning 11 and then the fact of being nearly 90. There is no distrust on my part toward the GGM as she is a wonderful woman that I have long admired. But she is quite elderly!
