[QUOTE="skittles, post: 760062, member: 2484"] Its been awhile for me also, Its my first Easter in a long time with young children in the house again. My two grands are settling in well. Ive been homeschooling them, a challenge but worth it. My 9 yr ild granddaughter couldnt read three months ago but now is reading grade two level fairly independent. My 11 year old grandson couldnt add or subtract with regrouping and didnt know how to multiply or divide but has learned all since. Ive made myself available every weekend to spend a day with all 6 kids and mom togeather, however lately she keeps cancelling visits. My custody was only suppose to be temporary til mom got housing but she wont accept a public housing ‘dump’ and no landlord will take her so Ive talked to Childrens Aid about transfering custody to my son in the summer after school us done for the year. However that has me worried too as my son has three already and is quite stressed. I dont know if hes up for it. My husband just retired and were alittle old to raise kids again, sigh..I feel bad even contemplating sending them to my sons but if mom wont get her act togeather im not sure what else to do. The kids are not my husbands bio grands so i dont feel right imposing this ‘temp care’ on him permanently. Hes been wonderful and will do it for me but I know it will cause some friction. Not what either of us imagined for our golden years. Never in my life did i imagine mom would completely check out like this, she was always so possessive of the kids before. Anyhow Im just going to enjoy Easter with the kiddos and take it one day at a time. Happy Easter everyone! [/QUOTE]
