We probably don't babysit the grandchildren as much as we should. Rachel only lives around the corner so we see them quite regularly and I never really expected to be a grandparent quite so soon. In a very selfish way I wanted some time to myself where I didn't have to change shitty nappies and get up at 5.30am because there was an unpaid demand for it. However, I also didn't want to be the type of grandparent that never babysits and last week it seemed that Rachel was at her wit's end with some personal worries and just the general stresses of being a parent to two toddlers. I've been there, I know how it feels. So, after a prompt from Kev we offered to have them both overnight last night.
