[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think you just have to look at it with the view that at different points in time, family members are able to do different things. If SIL can use help now, and MIL is giving it, that is a nice thing. Maybe try to set aside its implications for you and DH getting a 'fair' share later down the line. This seems like the kind of issue that would bother me if I were already annoyed at these relatives. Is that the case for you too, would you say? Another silver lining if you don't have MIL help: you can avoid the complications that sometimes arise when getting free care from a relative. If you hire someone, then you can feel freer to ask for what you want (with screen time exposure, with nap time, with outings, etc) and will be less likely to tiptoe around since MIL would be 'doing you a favor'. There are definite advantages to avoiding all that drama. Good luck. [/quote]
