[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom took care of both our kids until they transitioned to preschool.  I trust my mom completely. Sure she might not do everything like how I want but she is better than most care givers since she really loves her grandkids.   [b]She moved from out of state into our home in order to do this and only occasionally sees my dad as a result. [/b] My MIL, hell no.  She only babysat one day for us and was totally not willing to do it again.  She left with the baby in soiled diapers that was completely overfilled.  She also wondered why we weren't home from work at 3.  However, she always says how lucky my mom is to watch over the grandkids.  [/quote]

Sorry but that is crazy. I would be embarrassed to ask such a thing of my parents. I'm so happy that they are in the happiest years of their lives, enjoying ALL of their grandchildren, traveling, golfing, etc…..this is insane.

OP, its a lot to ask of someone in their 60's or 70's to give up their life m-f to watch your child. I'd not be willing to do this were it me. I'd really consider what you are asking, and for how many years you are asking this of someone/what happens if you have a second child etc before moving forward.[/quote]
