[quote=Anonymous]We had a similar situation. There wasn't resentment specifically about daycare but that my parents were so tied down and exhausted by being full time child care providers that it impacted the rest of their lives. As much as my mother wanted to do it (or felt she should do it), it still felt like my sibling was taking advantage of them as it took all their time and energy and greatly limited what else they were involved with. Also since my sibling wasn't paying them, there was little benefit to my parents - just using up their resources. It also meant that my parents were very close to that grandchild who had their own room at my parents house. Slowly over time a divide happened and it caused a lot of tension and resentment. It didn't cause any huge fights, it just caused distance in relationships and I would say meant the family isn't as close as they might have been. [/quote]
