Why this grandma doesn't want to babysit every day: 'Been there, done that'
Briefly

"There are a lot of grandparents ... who feel immense guilt because their kids expect them to take care of their kids and they don't want to all the time...Thankfully, I really have not found that with my kids. We have healthy boundaries."
"I can't imagine not wanting to keep my grandkids every single day' - not me...I had my granddaughter overnight on Friday night and all day Saturday and by Saturday night, I was like, 'When are your parents coming to pick you up?' And 98% of the time, she's the best...I was tired by Saturday night."
"I love my empty nest and I love getting to sit out here ... on my patio and not have to be responsible for a tiny human. Been there, done that. It was great but I like my incremental times with my granddaughter."
