[quote=Anonymous]I am an adult who grew up at times with a grandparent in the house part of the time. She lived with us from 0-5 yrs and again between 15-17 yrs. When I was young I thought she was okay I would visit her and do things. Little did I know she was constantly fighting with my mother (her daughter) about the time she spent with her 3 children and about how often my mother was taking her places. She moved out when it got too much for my mother to handle. When I was 15 we moved several states way and my grandmother moved with us. It was horrible. She had no friends at our home so she was bored and would do things. She also couldn't be trusted to be alone. She set fire to the toaster over and microwave. When my parents took trips, she wasn't watching me I was watching her. I was terrified that when I would come home from school that I would come home to a burnt down house. It was very stressful to me. There were also the conflicts between my mother and her again. Eventually one of my siblings needed to move in so grandma moved out. She was so much happier at a retirement home, where she made friends and could do things like play bingo. She lived to be 102 yrs old. If she never had moved out that would have been almost 25 yrs of her and my mother fighting in the same home. I can tell you both were happier with their own homes.[/quote]
