[quote=Anonymous]OP, you are not the problem at all. It sounds like you’ve been giving and loving, and will continue to be so. You need to be really clear with your ACs, tell them that you’re slowing down and not able to do what you did before. Keep emphasizing that your love hasn’t changed, but your capacity has. I am a caboose baby. My mother was still quite young, fit, and healthy when I had my first. I was a bit stung when she told me that she would not babysit for me the way she had for my brothers (extensively, regularly). That she would always help in emergencies and would babysit sometimes. She explained that this wasn’t a reflection of her love for me, but that she had been taking care of children FOREVER, and she wanted free time, spontaneity, and more time for her personal passions. It is great when family can pitch in, but grandparents are people with needs too! No one is entitled to full time grandparent care.[/quote]
