[QUOTE="louise2350, post: 752893, member: 24632"] Thank you all for your replies. I'm glad I never mentioned to my two other children the fact that they don't confront this other daughter and defend their mother. However, this problem never goes away. Now my youngest asked me to babysit on a certain date so she and her husband can go to a "wedding" and stay overnight. I thought when I heard the date "that's the birthday of K" (the estranged daughter). I asked my youngest where the "wedding" was going to be held - she gave me the same state as the estranged daughter is living in. I didn't find out until later that my youngest and my oldest are attending a birthday party for the estranged daughter and here my youngest asked me to babysit overnight while she attends it but lied to me saying she's going to a wedding. Well, this is where I draw the line. I won't be made a fool out of by babysitting my other two grandchildren while my two other daughters go off to a party for the estranged daughter. I think I should be given more respect than that - being asked to babysit while this youngest goes off to a birthday party for the estranged daughter. I am planning on telling this daughter that I never want to be asked to babysit again if she's attending a party for this estranged daughter. Well, just wanted to vent. I'm sure some people here won't agree with me and say I should babysit no matter what, but that's OK - I'm going with what I feel. [/QUOTE]
