[quote=Anonymous]Yes, and honestly it's great. My MIL is 20-40 minutes depending on traffic (she's in N Arlington, so rush hour is awful) and she takes our 4 year old for sleepovers about once a month, covers a lot of days off school, and is our babysitter. I think we've paid a babysitter maybe 3 times in 4 years? However, she (the MIL) is very eager to please and we're flexible about things like her (the kid) watching hours of TV and eating mostly junk food all day (hello chocolate granola bars and nutella toast for lunch). If either of us were less flexible, it would be a harder dynamic. She's also willing to help so much because we have one easy going 4 year old, so it's less work than multiple kids or higher energy kid(s). [/quote]
