Need to get my frustration out, and get some pespective from others please

Try to make this brief, like to start off by saying I love my grandchildren with all my heart, Several years ago my family moved back to our town, I had to 2 part-time jobs at the time, my daughter asked if I would quit 1 job and babysit her 2 kids for 400.00 a month, I gladly agreed, was thrilled to be with my grandkids(still am) couple years later she cut it to 300.00 out of diapers, o.k., this year 150.00 I said o.k. but you furnish some food. o.k. she goes on business trips(I charge nothing for babysitting when she's on trips) this morning comes got to go on trip gone 3 days and I said I have to work at 6:00 each morning can't do it. Of course she'll be mad and me guilty. I'm so tired of being made too feel guilty there seems to be no answer. By the way she makes a very good salary if she didn't wouldn't take a penny. Please help me figure out how relieve guilt I'm made too feel. This seems to be causing a rift nobody talks about between us, not on my part, but since I've complained a little they seem to be distancing from us, we used to do so much together, but now just come to get kids. I don't want this, of course this is all unspoken but you can feel it.

I'm so desparate I'm open for being jumped.
