[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm very considerate about the fact that I don't want my kids to be a burden on others. But some people feel family owes them and aren't really think about the other person's feelings. My inlaws are retired and keep themselves busy and I try not to assume they are always available to help me. But my SIL/BIL use them for long stretches. It's not that the IL are more willing to watch their kids. It's that SIL/BIL aren't worried about what the parents want.[/quote] Then what is the problem? You've made the decision that you won't use them for babysitting for every situation that comes up. Your SIL made a different decision. Why does her decision affect you? I don't get it.[/quote] +1 Your relationship with them and your SIL's relationship with them have nothing to do with each other. Want more help? ASK. If you aren't willing to ask, then it's on you, so let it go.[/quote]
