Hi Nanny. I'm so happy that I have an extremely close relationship with my oldest daughter but sometimes she act too overprotective. I have two daughters and am estranged from her sadly. But all relationships change over time. We go through different chapters but you are so right that the love is still there. I have to mention that you have me so interested in rock painting. Here in Michigan, one of our great lakes is lake Superior. I found some pretty ones on the beach. My daughter found a heart shaped one. You do such a great job painting yours. I love your creativity! I also love the two outfits you were wearing. You have much class! Relax and take care of you and Moosie in these hot summer days ! Hugs and ❤❤

Thank you, Nanny! I’m struggling with the adult children so this is very timely. I’ll work on acceptance.

Thankyou for a relaxing family visit with you and your recent happenings

I love you and your wise counsel. I had a bad fall last year and broke my foot. Since then my sweet daughter treats me like a China doll. I really appreciate it but also don’t want her and my granddaughters think I’m incapable of taking care or myself. It’s a bit of a quandary. Your words are so helpful 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Nanny, you are amazing. You have so many interests and love your stones that you have painted. They are so pretty. Take care and Moosie also.❤️

Your talk about daughters and mothers really helped. I’ve learned to except my daughter being like that. We would like to see our grandson more. I love listening to your videos. I’ve learned so much from them.♥️

So delicately put, Nanny...

Love you Nanny, your so beautiful from the inside out

Wonderful Nannie. Thank you 🌸

Thank you for a beautiful, profound, and insightful video❤

Such a good video Nanny, it is true how things change but you're right the love only grows, and the outfits looks comfy and cool, I do like to see you paint and the bread looked delicious ❤❤

You are so right about the circle of life. My husband and I had guardianship of our great granddaughter, when she was almost 6. We gave up our guardianship when she was 11. I really suffered and sometimes still do, empty nest syndrome. But she is with our son & DIL, who only lives 3 blocks away. Even though she sees us all the time, we see her pulling away with her own life. 👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

thank you so much you remind me of my motner

Hi Nanny The blue outfit is beautiful on you no adjustment I think and the red suits too as your tall I think every morning I dress I seem shorter over night as the work to shorten them is mounting 😂 nite nite to you both ❤❤. M

I will be 75 on my birthday this year & my mom passed away about 3 years ago, so now I am the old woman to my children & grandchildren. Eleven years ago when my youngest son & his wife were expecting their first baby, they decided they would buy several acres of property & build their dream house more or less in the center of it, then provide a house for her parents on one side of the property & another house for me on the other side of the property. They wanted to “take care” of their parents in our old age. They decided not to live on the property, but have us grandparents live out here. Well they finally found 10 acres that has a big, two story, 3 bedrooms, two bathrooms & a fill unfinished basement & a wrap around porch on 3 sides. Her parents are in that house, & it was that I would live in a room above the garage until they had a house built for me, which should have taken a year at most. Instead of getting started on a house for me, they spent the allotted money to totally redo the two bathrooms in the house, as well as the small bath above the garage, put new roofing on the house & garage, painted the outsides of house & garage, painted the inside of the house & room above the garage, put new lighting in both places, put new kitchen cabinets & refrigerator & kitchen sink above the garage & then spent thousands of dollars to put up two solar panels. Then they tell me there isn’t money left for a house for me. I am crushed! I feel that a small modest farm house should have been provided for me, then do the remodeling & upgrading the existing buildings as money allowed. I’m stuck up here in this one room, among my boxes, not enough room for my clothes, or room for other family members to visit & spend the night with me. There isn’t room for me to entertain my friends from church, there isnt room for me to set up sewing projects, or room to do canning. I was looking forward to having a ground floor modest 2 bedroom house over a basement of the same size, with a wrap around porch that could double as a green house & area for washing clothes outdoors & a clothes line, with room for a garden & some chickens. That is all that kept me looking forward to my retirement years. Now it looks like I’m stuck in one crowded room, no big covered porch, no place for a green house, or garden, or small chicken house. There has been about 2 acres designated for my house with room for the chicken house & garden over on a far corner of the property where I would have privacy. But they dont have the money now for me. I think a decent house for each of us should have been the top priority instead of these lavish makeovers & solar panels. I feel like I’m being tossed aside up here in some spare room like some shoe that doesn’t have a mate, I feel unloved, unwanted & useless. My only hope is to go back to work & find a two bedroom apartment so at least I can have room for friends & family to visit me. With the way the economy is now, I was looking forward for having chickens for eggs & meat & a garden for supplemental food, but I won’t even have that. Please be in prayer for me that I can find a suitable job & housing so I can have room to live & have hobbies & entertain friends & family. Thank you.

I love the rock painting❤️you are so talented

❤🙏 🕊 💋 💐

You are so so so fortunate to have your grandchildren so close to you. My heart aches for mine but they are all far away

Another wonderful vlog! You look lovely in your new outfits! Have a wonderful week ahead!❤

I LOVE the rock you painted for Carlos! So creative and well done!!! ❤

Hi Nanny! Boy did you hit a sad subject for me! We have 2 daughters and a son. I'm 77 years old (same age my mom was when she passed on). I always felt so close to my kids, even when they were teenagers, then, college separated us, and then marriages took place and grandchildren. I grieved for my mother big time for 10 years after she passed on, But, now I am grieving for my children (daughters especially) because now they have teenagers and they are very busy (for a long time they didn't even return phone calls and then I learned how to text). I know they love me...they are all 3 good kids and try hard to do all the right things, but I still grieve for the days when we were so close. Grief is hard, and yes, acceptance is key, but sometimes it's just so sad to know that things will never be the same. I have great comfort from you and others on KZbin, because I feel that you all are my friends... so KZbin can be great therapy and I hang on to that and painting (it takes you away from all the negative feelings). Thank you for this video! So sorry to write too much!☺🥰

Your thrift finds are amazing!

Nanny WTH! …you look so beautiful in your white with blue collar, hoop earrings…and hairdo!! Love the rock you painted for the construction company. So talented AND so sweet! So much eye candy and wisdom in your vids. LOVE IT! 🍃🌹🦋🌹🍃

Love the outfit!

Hi Nanny, my mother passed away a few years ago and I miss her, sometimes I still go to call until it dawns on me I can’t. I do talk to her in my thoughts and prayers. I am blessed I have my two daughters, we stay in touch on a regular basis. My granddaughter just turned 19 and my grandson is turning 14 next month, time is flying by way too fast. You give wonderful advice and entertain us with so many sweet moments. ❤ to you and Moosie.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom Nanny, you put everything into perspective. Have a wonderful weekend. 🇨🇦🙏❤️

I lost my mother when I was 10 but, I do want to have a good relationship with my daughter. I will be 59 in December and I am still learning my way through our relationship. Thank you Nanny for all of your sweet advice. Never stop giving it. You help so many. GOD bless you and Moosie. Big hugs and kisses 😊

Hi Dear Nanny, Once again, a smashing Vlog. You know you used to be a Teacher Nanny, the way you explain things so clearly. My Oldest Daughter is a Teacher. My Two Daughters do well by me and my Son. I am Blessed by their Love and Generosity. They All have their own lives, but they are just a call away. My Grandchildren too are the Loves of my Life. Family is so Special. Things Change but Love still Remains. Your Outfits are Fab I loved them Both. Loved the Rock’s. God Bless, Love, Cathy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿xxxx

Greetings Nanny! That rock came out so well! Did Carlos like it? And that blue and white outfit is just gorgeous. Don't worry about the front tuck thing, I think doing that is fashionable but not flattering on most people. You look beautiful in it! Oh, greetings to Shamu!! Love and blessings ♥️🙏

The blue and white outfit looks beautiful on you and it matches your mantle and tiles on the fireplace. 😂. Thanks for the talk about how relationships change. Through the years. And I miss my mother, and she was right about everything. 😂❤️

Love you Mr, and Mrs. NANNY AND THE MOOSE!!!! YOU ARE TRULY MY SPECIAL SWEETHEARTS!!!! You are both a enperashion to me. Thank God for you both❤

Great video Nanny!! My Mom always told me the only thing we can depend on is change. Go with the flow. Loved your outfits. I saw moosie in the background reading peacefully ☮️🌸💖 and loved the rocks. Have a fantastic week. Stay cool.❤

Yep I am one of those moms too

Girl! Your so dang pretty! Thank you for this video. To me… putting on a little make up is just part of living your best life😉

❤️Nanny, you and Moosie are treasures, and always look forward to your videos. I am sad about my relationship with my son and DIL. They gave me three adorable grandsons, but the problem is they always ask me for money. I have cosigned on vehicles and school loans, paid $3000 vet bill and medical expenses related to their IVF treatments. Now I’m out of savings but afraid to tell them - I’m afraid of losing my grandsons. My DIL’s mom died young, and she is not close to her dad, nor is my son close to his (I’m divorced from his dad). How do you handle touchy relationship with the DIL??? I only have my son, no other kids. I don’t want them to find out about my situation, but I’m on fixed income, work part time, with no savings as I haven’t own bills and still paying off my divorce. Anyone have any ideas to help me? I’m sorry for rambling but I have no one here to talk to and don’t want my friends (far away) to know. You are amazing Nanny! Bless you always. 🥰

So true about families and how things change but like you said it doesn't have to be a bad thing just the natural progression of things enjoy the rock painting and will patiently wait for the next piece I loved your outfits they look so nice on you

Loved your video. Great video to explain how relationships change as each life expands. I was very close to my Mom through her life, she passed away a year ago at 91 and I cherish our time and miss her every day. My sister who lives far away in California had a completely different relationship seems to have not lost a thing. I guess distance can make a difference but my Mom always told me that she felt closest to me and I am one of 8 children - 2 girls and 6 boys. I was a middle child and born when my Mom was 25. She had a busy time and devoted her life to being a Mother and wife. Her loving forgiving nature was a blessing. Miss her. She was very sweet and happy like you! Thanks for sharing your time with all of us. You are a true treasure!

Happy Birthday Moose! From 2 years ago. 😉🎉🎉🎉 Love you both! Jody 💜

Thank you Nanny for sharing your wisdom!❤

You are right nanny. Daughters and mothers are complicated. I guess with daughter # 1. her treating me more as an old mom, makes me feel older than I want to. Oh well.. I think being alone now, may make it seem more difficult. What did the rock guy say? I hope he loved that rock. How adorable!! How nice of you to do that! It’s really nice… love your clothes that you are wearing. Just my style.. thanks for the pep talk nanny! ❤

crushingtheir80snannyandmoose if you aren't invited to the just sibs only party then I pray they will make a plan where you can see them all at once as well as them dropping by individually. I would be deeply hurt simply because I wouldn't understand why they didn't want me there or at least til I got tired then they could enjoy their time together after I left especially since it's right next door

Hi again dear Nanny! Another great video with lots of wise words. Unfortunately not all mother-daughter relationships are as we would like them to be for many reasons...A lot depends on so many things....personality differences, illness, hard times, etc. Some folks are less expressive with their feelings, some folks may have resentments that are deep and unresolved. My mother was very strong and strict and I had great respect for her. We actually became more close as she aged. I'd drive the long distance to pick her up and take her out to eat or go shopping. I had an exceptionally close relationship with my mother in law. We just learn to adapt and accept all relationships. I have no daughters and have one daughter in law, but we are not close. I give her lots of space and am always ready to spend some time with her which is rare. I can only equate these relationships perhaps to birds....Once the baby birds learn to fly .they do not return to the nest. Do the momma birds experience the proverbial "empty nest syndrome?" Now I'm not sure how this works out, but in the morning and evening I hear lots of chirping back and forth from tree to tree and wire to wire....perhaps the baby birds...now grown are calling home and chirping to their mommas! I love your new outfits, especially the blue one with the blue print pants and beautiful top. Good luck finding just the right sized rocks for your ongoing family at the Nativity!

Oh Nanny, I love the blue❤ you are so beautiful!

Love the rocks, the outfits, the family photos, and Shamu!

That yogurt story is so heartwarming!

Great video. Explains exactly what happens as we age. We can't hang on to how we used to feel and just accept the now. I think doing this makes it so much easier to accept change. Your outfits are beautiful.

The white and blue outfit is so....fabulous!❤ Don't change a thing.

So sweet of you to paint a rock for your friend Carlos. ☺ That was such a great idea and I bet he loved it!

❤

Love all your blue and white!! You are beautiful in that outfit. Thank you Nanny.
