The only person who knows what it is like to be a working mom is a mother who worked.  So, I know.

How many of you would like to babysit your grandkids?  I know I would love to.  But in order to make that work, you have to live nearby. And your kids have to want it and they have to be appreciative.

I have met two mothers who are doing it.  Their daughters gush over them and tell everyone that they could not work and raise their children without their mothers. 

I want to be that mother and grandmother.   

I want a close relationship with my grandkids.  I want to be a part of their lives AND I want to help my daughter.  I would help ALL working young mothers if I could because I am not sure that the hodgepodge arrangements we have in place are honestly “working”

Any thoughts?
