Daughter thinks my chronic illness is an excuse not to babysit her son
A retired grandmother with fibromyalgia says her daughter accuses her of using the illness as an excuse to avoid overnight babysitting.
DEAR ABBY: I recently retired. I also have fibromyalgia, which leaves me fatigued and in pain, and I never know how I will feel on a given day.
My daughter is a single mom of a 3-year-old and asks me to babysit overnight on occasional Saturdays so she can spend the night with her boyfriend.
