Childminding grandson. Special time over and im struggling

[FascinatingCarrot]

I have been so lucky to be able to childmind my grandson 3 days a week since he was a baby, often more

Hes just started ft at nursery and thankfully is having a blast.

But its been such a hard life change and im struggling badly with missing him. Not sure why im posting really, because his mum had to leave him to go back to work so who tf do I think I am?

Any grandparents struggled too?

They are still local but are are very busy at the weekend. As they both work full time they spend every weekend out and about.
I am waiting to have both my hips replaced so I’m unable to pick up from school and have them (my DGD is in the same class) I only used to see her every couple of weeks in the last year or so. I very much miss her as well as I’ve only seen her once since September but our relationship has never been as intense as her cousin.

3 days a week?! But aren’t you ready to live your own life?
