[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our nanny is out this week and my husband has asked his mom to watch DS for 3 days in the mornings while I WFH.

We have a backup babysitter two other days.

DS is 18M and constantly on the move. My MIL has some health issues and cannot drive. My FIL drops her off in the morning and picks her up.

[b]My MIL cannot keep up with our son. He gets into everything. She keeps trying to cuddle with him and have him sit on her lap and watch TV but her has zero interest.[/b] I can hear his screams of protest and he keeps coming to my office door, wanting to play.

My MIL cannot take him for walks. She just had the TV on for 5 straight hours. They watched Frozen twice yesterday.

It’s driving me nuts.

I want to suggest to my husband that I will just bring DS over to their house on the weekend for a visit versus having his mom be responsible for our son. The amount of screen time he’s getting right now is not working for me. My husband is adamant that everything is fine. I feel like I have to watch them both.

Do I just let this one go?[/quote] if she cannot keep up with him, she should not be in charge of watching him. Find a different back up. [/quote]
