I did understand and appreciate what you said. I think what you expressed was totally natural. You cherished the opportunity you had to give to your grand daughter. As you see that opprotunity going away, there is a sense of loss.

Now, I am no english teacher, so you would red-line my papers like crazy, but I find it challenging to edit papers for my daughters. Sure you want to correct obvious punctuation and grammer mistakes. Ambiguous sentences need to be cleared up. But sometimes I am tempted to re-write sentences just becuase I think I have a better way. I must remember that it is still her paper.

The Geminian is sure that you have much more to offer to your family than editing help. Editing help is probably the least valuable skill you could share. Perhaps you could try balancing your ego with your responsibility of helping your children, so as to make your efforts more altruistic. The point of raising children is to get them to the point where they are self reliant and can provide the same traning to the next generation. Generally speaking, the next generation surpasses the previous one at an earlier age and then outpaces them exponentially thereafter, (so it is never "too quickly". If your child has reached your level, then celebrate because it will not be long before they are providing you with help with editing and other more relevant skills.

Are we still "Home Of The Brave?"

it seems just like yesterday that I was at the birth of the first one, and now she is 7 years old, and there are 3 more grandchildren. Well done, though teacher. How old is she?
