[quote=Anonymous]My mother watched my first baby fulltime from 3 months (end of maternity leave) and at 6 months told me she couldn't do it anymore. She was 60. Rather than send him to daycare I took a demotion at work to a shift position (evenings and weekends) which meant she only had to watch him two afternoons a week until my husband got home. We were all much happier. Now that my kids are older she picks them up from school two afternoons a week and they enjoy their time together. My career will never recover and I don't really care; I enjoy the part-time work.[/quote]
