I am not raising my grandsons, but I do babysit for them a couple of days a week. DD is a nurse and works 12 hour days, but lives an hour away from work. She drops them off at 5 AM and picks them up at 7 PM. We love them dearly and it is well worth it that they don't have the expense of day care. (especially since we couldn't find a day care that would only do a few days a week and for such long hours). But,, boy am I tired when they leave.
