Heck no! I have five kids between 10 years and 5 months. The only time I ask my mom to watch my kids is if I need to go to a doctors appointment or something. Like you said, you raised your kids, now it's your time. I totally respect that.
She's taking advantage of the fact that you're trying to help her out, and disrespecting you to some degree as well.
You're her mom, just cause she's grown doesn't mean you can't sit her down and set her straight.

No you are not! 10 hours a day and $150.00 a week? That is craziness. Let your daughter take care of her own kids. She needs to begin to take responsibility for her children. You are at the point in your life where you need to enjoy it and relax not babysit kids 10 hours a day!

Bless your heart for watching them. My mom would love to watch my kids, at least that is what she said. ~ and she used to watch them. But I would always hear it in her words, that she wanted her old life back. I got the hint, even though I needed her desperately. I was able to quit my job at the time and be a stay at home mom. To this day, she will watch them occasionally but I still hear it in her words, that she really doesn't want to watch them. My kids are basically good kids, but my son is always doing some acrobats that could hurt him. So I never ask her to watch them anymore. -But my kids miss staying over at her house.
ps. You have a right to want your own life back. You must do everything you can to make yourself happy.

I have two grandsons and I would never babysit them daily. The oldest would put me in a nut-house.

Nope, it's your own decision. You have your own rights to decide. Discuss that issues with your daughter and see what you both can do with it.
