That's how I feel and I don't even have grandkids! Catering to other people's needs and being taken for granted is so demoralizing. But it's difficult to un-learn what have been programmed into young minds. Like I said, I'm learning and at this age I don't care if I lose some impossible 'friends' along the way.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610228804345285508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4419042736661556334.post-953789001505454892011-01-17T21:42:54.077+08:002011-01-17T21:42:54.077+08:00Maybe it helps if you stop labelling putting yours...Maybe it helps if you stop labelling putting yourself first as being bitchy? :-)<br /><br />Anyway this reminds me of a story told about a grandmother who has to look after her grandkids. Recently my mom and her met up and she complained how stuck she is at home, can't go anywhere do anything but babysit - worse, she used to work before she retired (and become a babysitter, so I can imagine her "depression")<br /><br />Another case of "self matters" problem :-)Jewellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12527633461030988141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4419042736661556334.post-65824283935228086622011-01-17T17:53:54.563+08:002011-01-17T17:53:54.563+08:00Good for you, Lizee!
