YOU SAY

I can understand the feelings of the grandmother who wrote in about her son and daughter-in-law using her for childcare, while the other grandparents get to see their grandson for fun holidays (Dear Coleen, Sept 4). I’m a grandma and it’s not nice to feel you’re simply being used as an unpaid nanny. I have felt like that myself, but I spoke up and my daughter and her husband felt very bad about it as they’d had no idea I’d been feeling stressed and unhappy. Now I get the best of both worlds.
