I suppose my son & DiL are lucky in as much as I only work mornings so am available to pick up from nursery and now school bit I have said only Mon - Wed as I meet my chum on a Thurs and DiL doesn't work a Friday.

My XH's parents weren't much use as grandparents and my parents' input had big strings attached, but I quite like small children and eL Bee! is a natural baby-whisperer.
Lip Gloss Aug 2019 3:54pm, 23 Aug 2019 35,497 posts	0 Lip Gloss My ExH is a useless grandad but then like I say at 56 he has 7yr old and a 4 month old to contend with My OH has no grandchildren from his sons at the moment but I think Alfie lives him more than we does me lol but I'm happy with that.
