HI, I am a 45yr old mom of three boys all in their 20's. (27, 25 and 21) Youngest son in the Navy. I also have three grandkids that I take care of 4-5 days a week. The oldest a girl 7, has (mild to moderate) autism, a 4 yr old girl thats a princess, just ask her, and a grandson who was born in August, 6 1/2 weeks early. I am intersted in talking to any moms, of any age. (when I have the time too) Thanks for the welcome!

Hi. I am a 57 year old mom of six children and 2 grand daughters! It's great to be a grand mom!!. I have two and looking forward to seeing many more!!. These beautiful girls keep me laughing each time they are visiting with me. I love them so much because they remind me of their fathers when they were just their age. I cease not to give God the honour and glory for enabling me see them because many of my age did not see their own grand children!!

Hi Anna, I can't imagine running a day care and taking care of two kids with Autism~ Takes a very special person to do that. I take care of them (all sibs), due to Lexi having Autism, don't trust "just anyone" to take care of her. She just lost her first 2 teeth (a day apart), which is ALWAYS a big deal when it comes to her. She's very special, and we have all learned so much from her. She speacks several different languages too. She goes to a public school during the day, so I only have her for about 3-4 hrs after school, but at times it seems like a life time. Time for yourself....just ain't possible these days is it? (LOL) One day they will be all grown and we will have ALOT of special memories of them! I am a very proud g'ma and could brag all night but I should go for now....thats for responding to me, please keep in touch when you can!
