[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She has also flaked other times we needed her. We don't ask her any more. -OP[/quote] She's not the first grandparent who didn't want to take care of grandkids. Welcome to the club. You need to let it go, or ask your parents to move closer to you to help out. Or move near your parents so that they can help out and you can be there as they age. I have a good friend who's in the process of moving back home to do just that. Or network with some other daycare/school parents to watch each other's kids on days off. That has worked really well for us.[/quote] What part of I get that childcare is my responsibility are you not understanding? But if you take the individualistic route and don't help out when you can, then don't try to be community-minded and make your responsibility to take care of yourself everyone else's concern. I do my duty for myself and you do yours for yourself. -OP[/quote]
