[quote=Anonymous]Re: family members providing childcare: It's hard not to envy those women with mothers / MILs who are doing a lot of heavy lifting - often for free! My SIL has that - her MIL is basically Mary Poppins and takes the kids for 2 days / week. My SIL is a SAHM and talks about how it's the toughest job in the world. Ummm you have two neurotypical kids and your MIL is doing a lot of the heavy lifting, get some perspective... On the other hand, my kids have friends from a wide variety of backgrounds and I see a lot of grandparents "watching" kids and I feel bad for the kids. Plopping kids in front of the TV or dumping them on others for playdates b/c the grandparents are too old/unengaged.[/quote]
