I’m Saying No to My Granddaughter Moving In—Raising My Own Kids Was Enough / Bright Side

my dear Bright sideand
I hope you find this message well. My dear granddaughter recently started the university in the same city I live. I asked my daughter If it is right for her to stay with me To save a little on the rent. Of course, she agreed, believing that it would be a great way to help. But shortly after, I realized that things were not exactly what I was imagining. It was not just a place for the necessary residence – it looked like that They expected to cook every meal And do all the washing as well.
Well, after a lot of thinking, I decided that it was time to take things in my hands. Without telling my daughter or granddaughter, I fill in all things, folded them carefully, and put her next to the door. I gave it a week to find another place to stay.
Now, I did not do this from malice. I love my granddaughter dearly. But after a while, I started to feel that I didn’t help – You were using. I am a retired woman, and instead of enjoying my peace and calm well, I found myself again in “Mom Mode”, as she wanders to a girl who grew up she could not even present “Thank you.”
My daughter, of course, was very annoyed when I discovered it. She said I was cruel, and that I turned my back on my family. But, the truth, is it very wrong to want to live for the rest of my years with a little freedom?
sincerely,
Elisa
