[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are your kids, not mine. I never even asked, let alone expected, my parents or siblings to babysit or free childcare. My sister, 12 years older than me has a 29-yr old daughter who thinks I should help her with free childcare. What the hell is wrong woth this generation? Take cate of upur own kids![/quote] My MIL often wanted to babysit, but I chose to be a SAHM over the free babysitting. Then my SIL had kids and takes complete advantage of her. It's sad. When we had weddings to go to. We would drop the baby off when we were driving there, so for 6 pm wedding we would drop them off at 530 pm and pick them up at midnight. My SIL would drop hers off at 12 noon so she can get ready in peace ( where is hubby???) and then picked up them up the next day after lunch. Ended up longer than 24 hours. I want to be the one raising my own kids. What surprises me is that the one poster works all week,then drops her kids off at her parents all weekend. The problem I have with that is it is sad that she doesn't want to be with the kids more. Just because a parent offers to babysit doesn't mean you have to take advantage of every second that they are willing to watch the kids. I actually WANT my kids home with me all weekend. My MIL offers but I would miss them too much. [/quote]
