to 18 yrs. old, and it's supposed to be all good, right? Don't have to worry about all the little details of raising kids, right? Wrong! Now we have to worry about how our KIDS are raising our grandkids! But unless you were perfect while raising your kids, you will most likely have to keep your concerns and criticisms to yourself (or share with other grandparents) because your "advice" will not be welcomed and you will most likely be reminded that it's (1) not your job to create the same rules you had and (2) the world has changed a lot since you were the parent of small children or teens.
It's been 10months since I moved to Texas and posted here. Why has it been so long? Well, I was promising myself to make at least one post a month, but after a quick "note" in February (about side effects of another drug for menopausal women), I woke up in the middle of the night with searing pain in my left knee. Seriously, I thought someone was cutting off my leg or something! How do you injure yourself while sleeping???About an hour later I could finally stand up, but the pain was still excruciating and to make a long story shorter, I spent the next 3 months limping, not knowing what was wrong with my knee (which was swollen too) and then having that injury make the arthritis flare up in my TOES of all places! That made it even more difficult to walk and to go up and down the stairs. I couldn't do my daily walks, which was very disturbing after walking nearly every day for 3 1/2 years to keep my weight and blood sugar under control.
