DEAR MIKE CARES: I'm blessed at 38 to have my first and likely only grandbaby. She's PERFECT. My daughter, "Robin," is stressed. She's left alone with the baby all day, every day while her partner works. Robin sleeps only when he's home. I understand her frustration. I raised her and her brother, 12 months apart, on my own. I don't get to see my grandbaby often as I don't have a vehicle and Robin doesn't have a driver's license. I cherish every picture I receive. I want to memorize every aspect of my grandbaby. There's a recurring theme in her photos. I think the baby has a lazy eye. I've compared pictures from birth until now at 10 months of age. Robin is in a fragile state with stress and postpartum depression. Should I tell her or let a doctor catch it? I know the longer it goes untreated, the worse it gets. Right now, I can't say or do anything right to her. Apparently, "I don't know what it's like to raise a kid!" -- WATCHFUL GRANDMA IN MISSOURI


DEAR WATCHFUL GRANDMA IN MISSOURI: I’m no Mathlete, but you and you daughter both got knocked up in, what, eighth grade, your last level of education? Grandma has no car, and the new mom has no driver’s license, you two hayseeds really put the “trash” in white trash!  As to the lazy eye, why don’t you have Earl from the fillin station swing over and tow Robin’s trailer (assuming it has wheels) to the doctor’s office before the PERFECT grandbaby needs a cane and a seeing eye dog. Don’t forget to stop on the way home and load up on the Hillbilly specials from Walmart. Good Luck and Keep in Touch! Dear Mike Cares is also on X, Instagram and Facebook (whatever they are.)
