My 25 year old moved back home in July, no job, and has two boys. My mom(76)and I are raising the 6 year old, the 3 year old does split his time between the dad (who is great with him) my mom, and here with me and his mom. I love the boys, but it is taking a toll with my own (2nd) marriage (first husband was abusive). My husband told me tonight that he is very unhappy with this situation and will probably be leaving by the first of the year. He said that he married me, not my family (?).

My DH and I are helping to raise our grandchildren. Our daughter died when her children were 10 and 7, we had been taking caring of her and the children 2 years before she died. After she died the children went to live with their dad and his girlfriend, this was in 2003. They still came to visit us alot, they just lived about 3 miles away. Then in March 2004, a new baby sister was born. She became our grandbaby too. Then in March 2007, her mother just ups and decides that she wants to go back to an old boyfriend in another state. She leaves her little girl with her daddy. The kids dad is a trucker and is just home on the weekend. So we have been taking care of all three kids since then. They are 17, 14, and 5 3/4 now, we have them all week and dad has them the weekend. But I wouldn't change it.

Sometimes it is hard to understand why we are given these situations. I believe that everything happens for a reason, and that if it is Given Unto Us, we will also be Given the Means to Get Through it. I know that when one door closes, another one opens, but sometimes the screen is forgotten to be taken out and we get stuck. It is raining/sleeting here today, and I can only think that the Angels are as sad as I am and are crying along with me. As water washes the body, so tears cleanse the spirit!

Thanks for the notes - but don't feel sad for me, be sorry for him because he is the one who will be alone.

My Mom kept my DD's for me when they were little and both DH and I had to work. My Dad had passed away and they were my Mom's life. I felt so lucky to have her and my DDs were blessed to have been loved so very much.

Now I am blessed to be lucky enough to watch my precious grandbabies for my DD. My DD also lives with us and I love every minute of having my babies here. Life can be hectic, but that is okay with me.
