[quote=Anonymous]Just say no. But work with your mom to ensure she knows that you want her to be a part of their lives and welcome her help - maybe make some suggestions for other ways she can be involved. I would consider asking for her help before/after school or for pick-up/drop-off, but I would definitely NOT reduce to a half-day for your younger child. We get help from my MIL, and it has been so helpful but also very frustrating. We recently moved to more in-school time, and it is GREAT. It's really hard not to have control over how your parents handle childcare if they are doing it all the time, and in my opinion, it's okay for grandparents we only sometimes are around to do things you might not love... but different if it is every day (i.e. TV, sweets, rules, etc).[/quote]
