[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hard to say. It would be more attractive to me if she let them play independently, and maybe occasionally read them a book or sang songs in your native language, without the TV. She doesn’t need to be Mary Poppins, but I’d rather have my kids in external childcare (even though those are loooong days) than in front of the TV.[/quote] After thinking about it more, I would recommend not making your mom part of your daily childcare routine, but instead leaning on her for backup care in the event of school closures or illness. For example, if you expect a snow day but you have to work, then have her stay over the previous night[/quote]
