well, as a grandma of nine days, i am working half days, travelling to my daughter's home on the other side of sydney (1 1/2 hours there and the same again back) and spending mornings with her (at her request). My daughter is recovering from a caesarian delivery. I have been helping hold the baby, walk the baby, burp the baby, we all go for walks together, (and the dog tags along) also making food, cleaning up, and its good fun. I see myself as a support to my daughter and am doing things her way. baby Rosie is beautiful and we are having a lot of fun. it is a good excuse to spend time together, and is time I enjoy and value.
