[quote=Anonymous]My parents help out as much as they can considering that they live across the country. They come out here a couple times a year and when my husband travels for work, they time their visit to overlap so I can have some extra hands. They also paid for my graduate degree, part of my car, and may give us their seven year old car, so I count that as help too. If I had a non-parent relative in town, I wouldn't expect much help from them. Who is this person? A sibling? An aunt? I think watching the kids once a year on our anniversary would be awesome and probably the most I've ever ask of a non-parent relative and even then, if they said no, I wouldn't be offended. Some people just aren't good at babysitting and I don't want some one to do it solely out of obligation. I want people who genuinely want a relationship with my kids to be around and for me, that's my parents + some, but not all, of my siblings. [/quote]
