I feel so tired and exhausted after the birthday party of my grandson. I told my daughter, the mother of the baby that next time I will no longer shoulder all the cookings and other preparations if there are occasions being made. I was the one who went to market, do the cooking, rent tables and chairs, talked to some people who can help us provide a tent, and the worst, the cleaning and sorting all the stuffs used in the kitchen, like plates, pots and pans, and disposing all the left overs in the bin.
Although I have my sister with me who helped, yet I am the one in charged for everything. As a mother, I know we still need to support our children even they already have their own family, but…..till when?
I thought as a mother, our obligation is to up bring them with good morals, send them to school until they are finished. But, how long we will be doing this responsibilities ?

You are a good mother just like my sister who was also tired after helping cook during her first grandchild's first birthday celebration the other Saturday . Although there were paid helpers , but after she was the one who did the sorting out of the rented dishes . I even posted about the birthday party .
But if i a in your stead , i would surely not allow them to let me have a hand on the party . If they can't then they have it in a fast food chain so it will not be tiring after .

There is only so long that we can help our adult children. I still help mine, but I won't be able to help for very many more years.

Oh, that's really a tiring work. Good thing I never had grandchildren yet hahaha. Kidding aside, you are such an awesome mother and Lola for giving everything to your children and grandchildren. What a great mom and I salute you for that.
