Raising your grandchild…

We did not plan on raising another child in our 50’s, me, or 60’s, my husband. But…here we are with a 2 year old asleep on our couch. He refuses to sleep in the Paw Patrol bed we bought him. I really dont care, as long as he’s asleep. I guess with so many young people having a tough time we are not alone. We have other children and our oldest son is doing fine. But the dad of this one is not doing fine. So here we are. We love this little one but it’s not easy. We are lucky, during the Pandemic of 2020 we are still earning a living. So we at least don’t have the worry so many have now about an income. Also, raising a child in 2020 is very different from when we had our kids. The oldest was born in 1983. So, literally, another century! I guess we dont know what is going to happen at this point. But for right now, we have a 2 year old sleeping on our couch.
