Two other grandchildren, a 1-year-old girl and a 6-year-old girl, were also under the care of Raines-Hewes

Maybe people should raise their own kids instead of dumping them on Grandma. I swear, this is one reason I never had kids. You think you are done when they grow up? Nope. They expect you to take care of their kids too. Eventually, some women snap, and I don't approve, but I can see how it would happen.

My experience tells me that those women who choose to be childless have chosen wisely. Being a parent is not for everyone.

But no one with kids actually believes it’s over when they are grown and have kids of their own.

Being a parent is a lifetime gig, and this dad of 3, grandfather of 4, would not have it any other way.

Snapping and murdering a grandchild is evidence of mental illness. It ain’t normal.

Sorry you missed out on the beauty and joy of raising children...

My wife and I had six...each and everyone of them was told early on in their adult life, when they have children, we will not be the perpetual babysitter and daycare center...like so many of their peers treat their parents...

We are grandparents not the parents of their offspring... that's their job...

That being said we would never abandon our grandchildren to any broken corrupt child care state system if their parents could no longer take care of them...
