[quote=Anonymous]I would advise the friend to talk to her mother. The mother may not mind as much as she thinks. The couple might be able to help the grandparents conserve energy in other ways: grocery delivery; doing meal prep and giving the grandparents things to freeze; helping with bigger tasks around the home; cleaning on weekends or hiring a cleaner. To me it would not be so much about the money as wanting a trusted caretaker. I'm from an immigrant background where it's unheard of for kids to be watched by anyone but family and families help each other in all kinds of ways.[/quote]
