[quote=Anonymous]DS is six months old and has been going to daycare part time for a month or so. Part time was working because of our work schedules, but for the past couple weeks we've needed full time care.

We asked MIL to watch the baby one day per week for three weeks until daycare had a full time slot available. She excitedly agreed. She's young and fit and doesn't work.

After the first week, she called, texted, and emailed DH to say she enjoyed watching the baby and she'd love to watch the baby once per week permanently. Cool, we said, we'll check with daycare to see if this is feasible.

We checked with daycare and they were fine with a 4 day per week arrangement.

MIL came to watch the baby for Week 2. Baby was fussy, but nothing extraordinary. He's quite a good baby.

Two days later, she emails DH and says she doesn't want to watch the baby this week, or ever. She's too old, she said, and she's praying that we'll find someone else to watch the baby.

WTF. This whole weekly thing was her idea to begin with, and now she's giving us 4 days notice to figure something out.

So ... What would you do? I suppose this is more a vent than anything else, but I'm a bit peeved. And I know the mext time we see her, she'll apologize and have excuses, but I don't want to smile and say it's ok. [/quote]
