[quote=Anonymous]She’s not respecting the boundaries that you clearly expressed about certain things like the dog off leash. Have you clearly expressed a boundary about not wanting her to take the children to her parents house? If so, that would be a dealbreaker for me.
I assume you have control over the sleepovers or not? And I would simply say no to those given your daughter’s hesitation generally.

And, you know your daughter, but if she’s uncomfortable, and it’s something about the vibe of the caregiver, it could be that she feels the babysitter “babies” her too much. Or it could be other interpersonal things that make her uncomfortable. I’m not gonna say let her go only because of what your daughter said, but I would definitely heed it and give it some thought.

I’m not sure how much you’ve 100% set boundaries and it’s up to you as to how you want to handle that.

But if you’re needing some validation, if this isn’t OK, I 1000% give you that validation!!

I get the household disruption and I’ve been there And it’s tough. But you really have to trust your instincts about how to best care for your children and your family.
