I completely get that. You can love your grandmother and be perfectly OK with caring for her, but sometimes you need time doing something else or you start to go slightly insane.

I've somehow acquired a large number of friends with small children. They all report the same thing: if they spend 24/7 with the kids, then even though they adore their kids it's all a bit much and they need company of the non-kid variety.

I can easily imagine that an, ahem, older lady with some, er, idiosyncrasies would have a similar effect.

Glad you managed to get them to make things a bit more equitable and get yourself out in the world, even just for a few hours a day.
