[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 746861, member: 1550"] Yes. I feel strongly about this so I am giving my input. This is for those of us who are 60 and above. 60 and up is different and special and Our Time. Live your life. Drop those two kids off at her house. Dont ask her for permission. Do it. Have your week. Why is it up to her?They are hers. If you have legal guardianship see if you can get respite care for a week. Your 16 year old grand can watch out for the 12 year old for one week with an adult around, even if its Mom. They aren't so young that you cant ever have time alone with hub. I am 65 and nobody will take away my golden years. in my opinion you shouldnt give yours away either and your ill husband deserves peace. Your daughter gets SSI so has some insurance and can pay for her own medications. Her husband and she get some money. Welfare on top of social security? A food card? Section 8? Let them use their own resources and community help like Food Pantries. You need your money. i would take time for me and husband FIRST if I were you. Your daughter needs to be ready for when you are not here and it could be sooner if you are too stressed. Think of yourself. You and your husband well deserve a peaceful rest of your life. You dont have to answer the phone whenever your daughter calls or texts. Tell her she can call between, say, 11-12 Monday, Wednesday and Friday or any schedule and stick to it. Put your phone away in a drawer at night. She may be up all night but you dont need to get called at niight. If she has an emergency she can learn to call 911. They can help better than you and you deserve to sleep and wake up on your own schedule, get coffee, and just relax. There is not one reason for this daughter to upset you by calling in a needy way every day. Encourage her to call her Case Manager. If she has SSI she has a Case Manager. If you are not in therapy please go!! Hugs! [/QUOTE]
