writes: my husband and i are sixty and new grandparents. Our granddaughter is 7months old and my daughter and son in law want us to look after her for five days before christmas whilst they go ski ing. We are very anxious about the responsibility of taking on this task.However, the alternative is to leave her with my son-in-law's sister, whom she hardly knows, is a single parent and has an ex husband who is violent and will stop at nothing to cause disruption. We feel this alternative is unacceptable, but we are very stressed by having the responsibility of such a young baby to look after. How can we explain that we feel our granddaughter is too young to be left without her partents on hand, and certainly not with a dysfunctional individual. Should we take this on and hope all works out well. Reply to this Question

 Hi.
I understand the worry you are going through, i think you will cope very well with this situation, if i had choice of leaving a 7 month baby with you or a dysfunctional person, i would back you every time, you will make a wonderful job of looking after the little one, and after 5 days will be able to pass back to his parents, and i bet you will miss the baby when it has gone,do not worry it will work out alright.
