Grandchildren ....
Rosey....alas, you know me too well ! I AM ready for a holiday !It's all been "downhill" since the rapturous reunion at the airport !!! The grandchildren, who behave well for me, give their mother a right run around. We are used to having them here without their parents, but now that they live afar off , they are all here... It's been a difficult week with lots of demanding and ill-mannered behaviour. The weather has been at its worst so we have all been confined to the house. Senseless videos seem to be on all day. I've done baking with them all and card making but nothing satisfies and they continue to make impossible and selfish demands of their mother.. I took the boys (8 and 10) to the library one day . They were reluctant to go and surprised themselves by how much they enjoyed themselves. The grand-daughter went to stay with a ex school friend for a night, bringing lots of "thats not fair" type comments from her brothers. DD has the use of a vehicle and takes off for ChCh from time to time (with the children) and I never know if there are going to be just the two of us for dinner or seven .. one night she returned with an "extra" who stayed for two nights. I find that all a bit difficult . DH, who was full of promises about what he was going to do with and for the grandchildren, put his back out the day they arrived. He has confined himself to bed on and off ever since... Oh the joy of family life !
Time for some wine to go with the cheese I think....
Happy days,
Marion. (who really does love her grandchildren !)
