A few weeks ago, my daughter-in-law had an emergency at work and decided to drop my grandkids (ages 8 and 10) off at my house. She called to let me know, but I didn’t pick up. When she got to my place, she dropped the kids off at the gate and drove off, just assuming that I would be home.

    Care and Feeding is Slate’s parenting advice column. Have a question for Care and Feeding? Submit it here. My boyfriend and I both have very abusive backgrounds. He was in foster care and never really knew his parents. Mine both had affairs; my mother would sometimes disappear without a trace, while my dad dealt with me haphazardly.

It’s always pretty chaotic—I have a 6-year old, “Shana” has a 6-year-old and an 8-year-old, and “Beth” has a 2-year-old and a 4-year-old—but it’s a nice tradition. But there’s a problem.

    Care and Feeding is Slate’s parenting advice column. Have a question for Care and Feeding? Submit it here. My ex-husband is a bit of an “outside the box” thinker. At least, that’s how I describe him to our daughter. I tell my friends that he’s a conspiracy theorist who thinks society is on the brink of collapse. We split when our child was 1, and I’ve always had primary custody, but she sees him all the time. He’s fun and funny, and my daughter loves her dad. (I love him too, but like an annoyin

She’s the first grandchild in the family, and she’s adorable. I have mixed feelings about kids in general, but I feel I’m perfectly cut out for the role of auntie.
