[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason she decided she changed her mind was because she stayed to watch our dog when we were away for a night as a family and my husband messed up the tv remote control and it started from “I’m
not watching the kids anymore” because she was upset about the remote and it turned into “I’m not doing this for you anymore”. I’m fine with whatever she decide: and now we are taking the kids but don’t get upset about something and change your mind a few days before the trip because it costs us big time. [/quote]

Can you really not perceive that this was stressing her out and she doesn't feel capable of handling it?  It is unfortunate that your plans had to change, but you really seem to have zero understanding that you were still asking for A LOT and that she can't do it.  The fact that you were paying her and doing all that other stuff (ordering in dinner every night for 12 nights? ok) makes it even higher pressure in some ways.  It's like you set it all up so she could have no possible way to say no.  [/quote]

Again, damned if you do damned if you don’t. We use a local meal delivery service and if we asked her to do anything and didn’t offer to pay people would be jumping all over that. Just say NO. But don’t do it 3 days before. We know many families where the grandparents take the kids for granny camp, are full time nannies (get paid by parents) and many that are involved in the kids lives.
