[quote=Anonymous]I would do this. But, some advice based on my experience with ILs providing childcare for 5 years -- Be honest when evaluating whether your ILs can handle full time childcare. Mine cannot any longer, even though they are healthy youngish people. It's just a lot, and they want to relax in their retirement. You still have to be the parent -- disciplinarian, planner, etc. IME it's bad for your ILs' relationship with the kids if they are torn between being the indulgent grandma and the one making kids do homework they don't want to do. So you won't be able to check out like when the kids are at school/daycare. Nothing is free. You will need to spend time on maintaining that relationship. Good luck! [/quote]
