[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom has watched our DD from 4 months to 2 years 4 days a week. She now goes to preschool 2 days a week and my mom watches her the rest of the time .  When our second child is born next spring, DD1 will start full time preschool and my mom will watch #2 until he/she's about 18 months again. It's sometimes a struggle because my mom can be moody and a bit over protective. BUT the sheer amount of money we've saved is amazing. Plus I never worriy about my daughter because I know she's in good hands. We do pay her $50 a week to cover gas and other expenses but that's a personal decision. [/quote]

Using your mother is truly disgusting.[/quote]

Really?? My mother has bee retired for 3 years and begged me to do this. My grandmother did the same for me and I didn't start preschool until age 4.  We are AA this it's very common in our circle/community. [/quote]

Different poster - I'm AA too and my mother wanted to do this for us. We declined because she lives about an hour away and wanted to spend the nights during the week, but we don't have a guest room, my company heavily subsidizes daycare. Instead, she helps out when DS is sick or when one of us travels for work. I am amazed at how helpful she can be, even when she drives me nuts, but people do what's best for them and I love my mom for doing this for us.

There is NOTHING disgusting about that. [/quote]
