[quote=Anonymous]Nobody said OP needs to take her in-laws in or subsidize a profligate lifestyle. She has received tons of advice on a more balanced approach. Many of us have given varying degrees of help to relatives, even those who've made bad choices. Everyone needs to do what they're comfortable with and able to do, and that's fine. I don't understand, however, the expectation that grandparents must care for grandchildren. That seems so weird to me. My parents raised their kids already, and we enjoy having them around as much as possible but would never want a "business" type relationship where they had to show up and work a shift. And for a family that doesn't seem to see eye to eye on basic values, that seems like a recipe for disaster. Much better to have paid childcare where bad family dynamics aren't coming into play.[/quote]
