Grandmother's roll in helping new mother

Tweet

My youngest daughter just had a baby, darling little boy. I have gone to here house numerous times and helped her out with him, but i try not to go to often. One perticular night i went to help the daddy keep him awake so my daughter could rest and hopefully the baby would sleep better throughout the night. In which he did. Next night she asked me if i was coming back to help and i said No, it was a friday night and the daddy didn't have to work the next day and they could handle this on their own. I did tell her that if they did have any problems i was just down the street. (we live in a small town). My point in the story is that i think that even though she is new to being a mommy and she is young that she needs to learn how to handle these things on her own ...her and her husband. Of course I always tell her that I will be there if they really need me. Am i doing the right thing is saying this to them.....this is not my first grandchild but it is my first from one of my natural children. what are your views on this subject?
