[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have the world’s best parents who are willing to provide FT care but I won’t let them do it. We have a nanny and they do hang out at the house a lot to give her a break or give her individual time with one child (nanny genuinely loves that and loves them). It would seem cheap to me to use them for FT childcare. They need to have their own lives too.[/quote]

I'm the PP who used a grandfather for childcare.  People can have a job and a life.  He needed income, I needed childcare and wanted someone I could trust.  Watching my kids was challenging, but easier than the job he was doing right before retirement.  [/quote]

How old was the grandfather?  If he was in his late 40s/early 50s yes I’m sure he could nanny full time and have energy to do activities after work.  But most grandparents are in their late 50s at the youngest and it is exhausting watching a young child 40 hours a week.  I think it is unusual for a grandparent to do it really well and have energy for other activities and hobbies.  [/quote]
