"Ever since the arrival of the grand children, they lost control of their lives."
Overheard a conversation in cafe. Their life schedule have to be agreed upon or even arranged by their children, since they are taken to be the care taker of grand children.
Their children need holidays, hence grandparents can no longer have their own holidays. They only have holidays with family, and most of the time is being given the task of taking care of grand children during out trips.
They can't even come out for dinner with friends, cause children are not home yet. Even some have maids, their children insist the grandparents have to be around to make sure the maids behave.
One who used to spend at least two months of every year in Switzerland where her sister resides, have not been out of country for two years. She wonders when will she get her life back. Or will it end before she ever have control again.
Friends, our parents are not our maids. You are responsible for your own children. They deserve better.
