[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

My parents live in Florida,  not ready to move up this way yet, but my mom doesn't want to miss out on a relationship with her granddaughter especially since DH's family is local ( Maryland).

Mom is retired so she figures she can fly up here a week at a time get to know the  baby.

I know it sounds crazy, but this is important to her and I want my daughter to know her grandmother too,[/quote]

I think this is a bad idea.  There may be times where your mom can't make a flight for whatever reason and that would be a lot of pressure on her and on you to find other care.  My friend's in-laws live in Florida and visit frequently.  On their last visit, I talked to her MIL and she expressed how difficult it had gotten for her to come so often, especially in the winters.  You could always pull your LO out of daycare for a week every month or so to spend with Grandma or if you have a nanny, give your nanny plenty of vacation time when Grandma is visiting.  More vacation time for a nanny may offset overtime on regular weeks.  [/quote]
