I watch my grandkids on Fridays. Our son who works on the ranch, brings his 2 yr old here because the sitter who keeps him during the week only watches kids 4 days and not on Fridays. His wife is a school counselor. So, they needed someone once a week to watch him. I volunteered and figure if I have one kid, a few more isn't anymore work. Then my MIL is bored and offers to help. BUt it ends up I take care of all of them. It does try my patience....believe me, when she starts in on how she was poor as a kid any time I mention anything about my childhood, its all I can do to keep from just filling her in on my childhood. But i'm not like that. That was just the first 18 years of my life and I've vowed to never repeat it. BUt, she's blamed everything on the childhood she's had and I hear about it EVERY TIME i'm around her. Bless her heart, she's a dear woman, but DAMM... don't get me started....i'm so stressed out on Fridays. Down to 2 kids now, so its winding down until next Friday...
