Hi, Lauren here. My son's grandparents live in another country, we can't just pop up whenever we'd like or stay just for the night. He spent 4 nights with them over half term because they offered and so I wouldn't have to struggle with work.
His other grandparents arent able to help much as my dad's health is deteriorating and my mum is his carer.
You didn't need to know any of that, I just felt it a bit unfair to be tarred as one of those mothers that palm their kids off to whomever when it couldn't be further from the truth. My social life is non existent because of that, which is probably why I'm dull as dishwater, but I've never claimed to be interesting so that's ok
