Having a bit of a moan.

That's sad that it's not as you expected.

Can I ask are the boys playing up because their mums away or for another reason?

When I have our little ones without their parents , it's my rules . We are agreed on that because I don't believe in the whole 'I'll tell your dad when he comes home thing' . So we deal with issues immediately.

Is that something you can enforce as both the boys parents are no there ? It would be a shame if your visit was spoils.

The grandchildren have only recently returned to school after seven weeks summer holiday over Christmas and the New Year. Much of their time was spent with me which was both delightful and exhausting. I've just about recovered. I know just how you feel.

I felt like bashing my head on the wall and shouting very rude words. Of course I didn't but it was a near thing.

My d-in-law has gone on a course abroad for one week and our DS asked if we would come and help look after the 5 and 3 year old GSs. What could be simpler.

We started off well on Saturday but now Monday both boys are playing up and are being spoilt brats. I love them dearly but DH and myself are counting the days till Sunday when we can go home.

My DS is helping when not working (he works from home).

I shouldn't complain, but this is the one place I feel I can say how I feel.

Must go the little one has just been sick and the big one says my sausage, potato and peas was delicious, so it isn't all bad. grin
