I adore my grandchildren, but I am tired of furniture being wrecked, food being devoured not just by them but by the parents as well. We love them, and if they are in need, we are happy to help. We have stereos wrecked, carpets wrecked, fridges wrecked, paw marks everywhere, and we can't go on holiday in case we are needed for babysitting duty. They are 9, 7, and 4.
