[quote=Anonymous]I'm pregnant with our first child and my in-laws first grandchild. They live close by and my MIL has talked in the past about wanting to help with childcare. I work part time so we'd only need care about 2 days per week. I'm pretty sure she would want to help, but I don't want to bring it up and put her on the spot if she doesn't really want the commitment. Obviously, we'd love for the baby to spend extra time with the grandparents and it'd be easier for me knowing it was family, but I'm also perfectly fine with finding another arrangement if needed. I feel like I should start looking into nanny/daycare options soon, though. So, how do I approach this with MIL? Just mention that we are looking at daycares and see if she says anything? I don't want her to feel insulted if I go that route, like maybe I don't trust her? Any thoughts on how to bring up the topic? [/quote]
