In spite of going overboard to help our grown up children with GC its never enough
Does anyone else get this
It’s always a juggle getting our own commitments achieved and appointments etc let alone house and home
We all know it gets harder as we age however fit we are
There is no recognition of this
It seems to get into a cycle of caring overload then exhaustion then pettiness st home from DH about the state of the house etc
Any social commitments are seen as superfluous /selfish
Tbh that’s what keeps me going
I’m fed up with all the conflict and selfishness and lack of understanding of our odd ailments
We are seen as being inconvenient then shunned
Trying to understand this entitled mentality … never get any gratitude

Do not put off opportunities, make your plans and if you are asked to babysit at those times, just say no. you are busy.
Book a holiday and tell them the good news. . They will get the message.
