I am 65 years old, I live alone and am in good health, I have a dog and walk miles with her every day. My son and daughter-in-law live near by, they both work, I agreed to take care of my Grandson whenever they needed, when my DIL returned to work. Her folks also live near and the agreement was that we would share child care with them 50/50. My Grandson who is 20 months is gorgeous, I adore him and feel it is such a fab thing to be trusted to care for him but I am finding it so, so tiring. I have a car seat and have bought a buggy, I take him out to interesting places and for lunch etc. I am now having him for the whole time that my DIL works, my son and DIL bombard me with compliments on how happy he is with me, how well he sleeps, eats, talks etc, etc he is such a fab and easy little boy but I am absolutely exhausted. How do I say "what about DIL's parents" how do I say I am so tired.
