DC does 1-2 overnights almost every weekend. My grandmother wants to babysit, but I don't feel comfortable leaving DC because she's lost some mobility (early 70s now) and DC can be a handful. She's stayed at my grandparents for many a couple hours here and there so that they aren't offended, but not more than that. My granddad is also recovering from cancer.

Why the hell would your kid spend 1-2 overnights EVERY weekend?
Is there a reason you need so many breaks. Man I feel sad for that kid?
Are you in good health? If not then I apologize. Is your husband okay with that? My spouse would miss our kid too much.
Sounds like you are young and not realizing this kid needs YOU not your parents.
How old are you? I bet anything you won't answer that.

Considering I posted how old my parents were, I get where this one is going...a not so subtle dig at having kids in your 20s. Clever! We're early 30s. Perfectly healthy. And happy. So is our kid. Maybe you grew up in a different type of family, but I can't imagine having kids and feeling like them spending one on one time with my parents as an inferior choice. I actually really like my family and hanging out with them. We still see DC throughout the weekend because I'm hanging with my fam alot. I have it really good in that we can hang all day and then leave and hang with friends that evening. I get to workout, clean the house, run errands, etc so weeknights are fun. We're at the park til sunset.

Don't knock it til you try it!LOL

Nice lies. How old are your kids. You said your parents with MID to late 40s when you have your kids. So nice try. So you WERE INDEED in your 20's when you HAD your kids. Unless your parents had you at 15.

My kid is 3.5. Do your math over hon.

I trust my parents, but my in-laws don't listen to us at all. They always think they know better, from trivial things like food to actually dangerous situations. Trust level there is zero, which is not what we have wanted, but what they have earned. Who leaves their kids with someone they don't trust?
