I’m not bored, I love my life and don’t want the burden of caring for kids Caroline DuddridgeI’m dating again and after Brian died, I got into the gym. But I know Amanda has moaned about me to her friends because she said they thought I was “money-grabbing” and “selfish”. I know young parents and grandparents will think I am bonkers, selfish and grabby but I don’t care. What I’m doing doesn’t mean I love my grandchildren less, it just means I’m sensible.
