Grandparents would give their souls for their grandchildren. It’s no secret. When children in the third generation appear, it’s like we start living anew. But sometimes, the burden becomes too much to bear.
If only things had turned out differently, stories like mine would be far less common. I married three years ago. My husband and I had what seemed like a perfect relationship. Everything was going well until our baby was born.
Life took an unexpected turn when I found myself with two daughters, each from a different father. You might find it amusing, but there were no other men in my life. Here’s how I managed the complexities of having two mothers-in-law.
My son and his wife live separately from us. My son works full-time, while my daughter-in-law stays home to take care of their two boys, aged three and five.

My daughter just dropped a bombshell, asking me to take in my grandson for good. I’m torn and need your advice!
