Since I have always had a lot going on in my life, I knew it would always be active. Both of my beautiful daughters are now adults and therefore live with their own families. I have been divorced from my husband for several years now, about 10 to be exact. I’ve always wanted to live alone and really value and love my personal space. So over the years staying in peace is always worth it and only those who have always been in the same area with someone can understand that. I’ve always liked solitude, so don’t get the idea that I can’t live without people. I can, and I love them very much. I love my children very much, too.
I am currently in my 60’s and I freely set aside time for my beloved self. I enjoy literally every minute of my time, but my kids don’t really understand it. There are three grandchildren in the family so I need to spend time with them, my daughters are perfectly married and living happily ever after. But I said right off the bat that I’m not going to babysit and I always have a lot to do.
I love my job first and foremost. Well, besides, I need to conserve my strength, and I am already tired by the end of the day and do not have the strength to even cook myself a delicious dinner. Running after the kids is a very stressful time for me at the moment. That is why it is important to pay attention to my business, too, and besides, I have a personal life.
But as it turns out, my eldest daughter decided to go to work, wants me to sit with my grandchildren. I can not afford that. I can’t take the little one to day care, and he is only 2 years old. I do not allow me to bring the children overnight, and I said right away that I would help very rarely. You need to be able to cope on your own, too, since they are your children. And my daughter came and said she would pay for me to babysit.
I refuse that I won’t babysit for money and I don’t want to quit my job.
My youngest daughter somehow feels better about it and considers me a modern grandmother, but my other daughter doesn’t understand my position and says I don’t love my grandchildren! Of course, I love my grandchildren and daughters very much, who I raised on my own and no one helped me deal with them even in the hardest of times, when I didn’t know where to put myself! I just love myself more!
