[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Do you really even want her help?[/b] Won't your kid also be watching trashy tv and listening to gossipy phone calls all day long? I don't get this expectation that grandparents will provide childcare other than as a favor/gift. Nobody owes you childcare. She did her time raising kids already, maybe she just wants to relax. I think you need to separate the issue of her care in old age from childcare for your kid. They're not related.[/quote] No, of course OP wouldn't want her MIL to watch her children, then she'd have to give up some control. She'd prefer to have them in care anyway. But now she can feel righteous about feeling no obligation toward her family.[/quote]
