[quote=Anonymous]I can 100% see your perspective. Here's one easy, clear step: hire a babysitter. You don't need to tell her you're going to, or that you even did. A few months from now, you can be like, "Meet Sally--she's been sitting for us for a few months, and Brayden loves her." The coffee thing, I see your side. But TBH if your mom is around a lot doing you the favor of watching your kids and sometimes it's in the morning, that's a fair price to pay for free help. The stocking--I see your side AND hers. For her, it might feel like wow--you need me when you need me and you use my help, so we're "family" in that way, but you leave me out of a "family display." I don't think there's a clear right or wrong move here. This might be a time to talk to her about how you want to be treated as a nuclear family, and she's a "bonus," but not a parent. [/quote]
