Hubby and I have the same dilemma, our moms are quite an age. Although his mom is still young (60s), she has back issues and thus can't take care of our kids at all. My mom however had seemingly boundless energy, but there's a clear difference now. Also neither drive and there's no granddads. So,yes,my siblings have no idea how lucky they were to have my mom n dad as a young grandparents. <br />All the best for your mom.xmommaBearTraxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07253111808288964968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127613511850015325.post-23849610578970983102016-03-03T20:05:57.691+02:002016-03-03T20:05:57.691+02:00I'm right there with you!

I'm taking care of my MIL, FIL, and husbands uncle; with Parkinson's, 2 cancers, and mild retardation respectively. I think of them as my new toddlers. My ladies are really getting into extra curriculars as you say so I am really feeling the strain. Thankfully they are still taking things together so it's only one drop off for the both of them. Two nights for lax, one each for dance and Girl Scouts, and I work weekends. I'm slowly ticking off the days till our summer break!!Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13336283103973967252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127613511850015325.post-1770585222113805412016-03-03T08:16:10.681+02:002016-03-03T08:16:10.681+02:00It's so tough watching our parents get older. ...It's so tough watching our parents get older. I hope your Mum gets on the mend soon and is back on her feet in no time. It's tough looking after our kids and our parents.<br />My mum is wheelchair bound and she is only 63. She had a double hip op about 7 years ago but developed diabetes and then neuropathy. Her hips are great but the neuropathy has her in a wheelchair. My Dad lives in Uitenhage, we in PE and DH's parents are also on a downhill spiral with their health. DH's parents looked after Liam until he was 3½ which was a huge help and it seems that since he started school they have deteriorated.
