JustAmy,
WOW! You too... so many seniors are in the same situation!
School ends for us here too next week, and we are scrambling to think of activities to keep our 9 year old grandson busy....and yes, swimming will be one of them! Granddad will take him to the local pool daily along with our 17year old adopted daughter! One blessing, because we are seniors we can swim free! LOL...
There are days though when I feel overwhelmed with the whole situation...especially with arthritis setting in real bad now.
Our 17 year old is a sweet girl and is a help, but of course as “ siblings” go...it can become competative sometimes...lol
But we take one day at a time!
Thanks for sharing your situation with me and thanks for the welcome on the thread!!

There are so many people spending their “golden year” raising another family.
You are right ... there are times that it gets overwhelming. There are afternoons when I cannot keep going with stopping for a short nap. Thank God for Grampas. : )
I love Marissa dearly and feel blessed to have her, but it is not what I had planned for our retirement. I hadn’t planned on spending many evenings helping with second grade math. I think it will be worse next year. LOL
I’m so happy that you are here.
Happy Father’s Day to Granddad. A happy Sunday to you.
