    Judi I think it's very unfair for them to expect you just have the little one without any discussion! I think I would probably offer to help maybe one day and they will have to sort out the rest off the time. I know like me you've got a big family and much as I love my grandchildren I really wouldn't want to spend every day looking after them, been there done that got the tshirt:eek:
    My dd is good really, she's asked if I mind helping out a bit during the summer holidays as this is Oscars first year at school, he was in full time nursery before so the hols weren't an issue, and I don't mind helping other times but I couldn't do regularly 18hrs a week. If I could manage that I would be working those hours.
    Hope you get it sorted. Hope you don't mind me sticking my nose in x

    No I don't mind that is the sort of feedback I want. Helping out has never been an issue, ive had him regularly overnight since he was 5 weeks old when they have gone out but I just think asking me to have him 18 hours a week as well is a bit much.

    Negotiations are continuing....

    Was it "asking" or more of an assumption?
