In today's Dear Annie column, Annie Lane hears from a reader who loves her grandchildren but feels like she ends up getting stuck with doing housework whenever she visits them.
Instead of stressing about missing her grandkids but not wanting to get stuck with doing chores at her daughter's house, Annie Lane suggests to today's reader that she have her grandson and granddaughter come stay with her for the weekend instead.
Here’s where my guilt comes in. I enjoy staying home more than they like me to. My grandson calls crying a couple of times a week, and my daughter often texts on weekends begging me to come over. While I love my family dearly, the visits are overwhelming. They have several animals, and I end up cooking and cleaning the entire time I’m there. It feels nonstop, and I don’t get to enjoy my time with them.
