Saturday morning. < img src = "https://zycie.news/crrops/6ebc1/620x0/1/0/2025/02/23/n3dqrrrr9zyicfhfh3qqqijry4uydksuuu4x51dsmjirr.jpg" alt = "grandfather and granddaughter @pexels" styles = "background-color: rgba (114,104,92,1)" > < p > Finally I could sleep, drink coffee without rushing, read the newspaper.

< p > from Saturdays belonged only to me.

< p > until today.

< p > The sound of the doorbell destroyed this silence.

< p > on the threshold my C & Amp; Oacute; Rka.

< p > and next to it dw & oacute; jka of my grandson & oacute; w & ndash; Five -year -old Zosia and seven -year -old Staś.

< p > — Dad, you have to be a pom & c & mdash; she said instead of & ampquo; good morning &.

< p > — What happened ?

< p > — I'll take them in the evening. I have a meeting, I have no one to leave them with.

< p > I blinked.

< p > — But I have plans.

< p > Zosia looked at me with big eyes.

< p > Stas hugged me to my leg.

She made a face as if she didn't understand.

< p > — What plans ?

< p > — Those who do not include nanny of grandson & oacute; w.

< p > When I was younger, all my life was around & oacute;

< p > she was my priority.

< p > she was my everything. < p > Now that I finally had time for myself, or I really had to give it up ?

< p > — Dad, it's only a few hours.

< p > — Kasia, or maybe you should learn to organize time for your children ?

< p > sighed hard.

< p > — I don't understand why you don't want to take them. It's your grandchildren.

< p > — I love them. But I have the right to my own life. < p > for a moment thought I was kidding.

< p > for a moment she thought I would give up.

< p > but I did not give up.

< p > — You are an egoist — she finally threw her hands.

< p > I watched him go away, evil and disappointed.

< p > I don't know if it will still call.

< p > I don't know if he will understand that being a grandfather does not mean giving up your own life.

< p > but I know one. < p > I don't want to raise their children.
