[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter has not paid a babysitter even once in seven years for her children. We babysit at least twice a week, usually overnight once on weekends. On this date we are going to the beach the day they have a big  elementary school benefit. She has two weeks notice to hire a sitter but[b] whines her husband won't spend the $15-$20 for sitter.[/b] The more she whines (can't find a sitter, can't afford a sitter, blah blah) the angrier I feel. She's called three X in two days to complain.

Tell her to get a job so she can pay a sitter herself.[/quote]

What makes you think she isn't working?  Not that it matters here, but some spouses have the same opposition to getting a sitter when both spouses work.  So, PP, your comment was unhelpful.

OP, finding a sitter is your daughter and SIL's problem.  I agree with ignoring her complaints.  If pressed, stay firm and Ask your DD what she's going to do instead.  She might have to skip this event.  Does her DH think she's over involved in school events?[/quote]
