Yes, you have said that she wouldn't be with you long term, but I don't think you said where she was going - and it's still a long time till the end of the year when you have to keep getting up and doing kiddy stuff every day! I totally agree, you and Stu deserve to have some time on your own.

I know she will be loved and have a happy, secure life. I'm just so glad that you were able to take over her care when you did. <br /><br />Re my cold? Yes, I seem to have developed what you get - coughing til I nearly spew (or pee my pants). Oh the joy... I did get some great stuff though at the recommendation of the chemist called Harker Herbals deep lung support. Horrible stuff but it does seem to have made a massive difference already.Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06856015651957578791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-75817374076558387702017-07-07T20:40:30.406+12:002017-07-07T20:40:30.406+12:00It's not selfish Chick, it's all about kno...It's not selfish Chick, it's all about knowing what's right for you.

Us Chinese in Singapore we take care of our kids a lot longer since they don't move out due to cultural and practical reasons (housing is expensive). Waking them up, cooking, cleaning, laundry, nagging to do homework. It never ends. I've made it known I won't take care of any grand kids. I know it's selfish but I really want to stop taking care of people.

Then she will be living PERMANENTLY with her Uncle Steve and Aunty Bex. I CANNOT and will not raise another child. Stew and I NEED some time for US, as we have had NO TIME ever when it's just been US. We are not prepared to raise another child till it's old enough to leave home! Steve and Bex are young, have children the same age as Keera and will love her and treat her as their own, and they have been in Keera's life since she was a new born. Keera is well aware of this 'plan' and we are all preparing her in many ways for this change in her life (to come). She is very happy with the plan, and Steve and Bex having her in the holidays is part of the transition process. I thought everyone knew this was our plan? Oh well... I will 'blog' about it again some time.Chris Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03599144462630400401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-63626886628069980672017-07-07T19:34:20.954+12:002017-07-07T19:34:20.954+12:00Enjoy your break - you have done a great job takin...Enjoy your break - you have done a great job taking on Keera but it's hard work looking after such a little kid, hopefully it gets a bit easier as she's growing up.
