[quote=Anonymous]OP, DH and I have been the ones for a variety of reasons (ailing parents, being in a better financial situation, etc.) that have had to always figure out childcare on our own. SIL and her DH are a hot mess at times (of their own making), so the grandparents would take their kids for entire summers. My in-laws still have to financially help them out. DH and I meanwhile handle our 3 kids on our own also with a good rotation of sitters. So I get the frustration and you have my blessing to not feel like taking this on. The upside is you and DH have your $hit together without having to mooch off other people while never reciprocating. I can’t stand the “it takes a villllllage” people who want the village without making any effort to be a part of the village support network. [/quote]
