[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't seen OP answer the "is she paid?" question.

I'll also say that if you were two working parents of four young children who used daycare, you would have many many days when one of you needed to take leave.  Because kids in daycare get sick a lot, and they don't do it on a schedule.

My guess is that using your mom like this has meant that you haven't needed to do that nearly as much, both because your kids are probably sick less often because they aren't in group care, and because your mom probably has lower standards for when she requires them to stay home.

Given that, you can use some of the time you hopefully saved.[/quote]

No, she isn’t paid directly for childcare. She doesn’t expect it. Out of love and kindness, we do give her gifts.[/quote]

If you can’t pay for daycare you had too many kids.  [/quote]

The thought that a dolt like OP had four kids is depressing for our future. [/quote]

If she can save thousbands by having mom watch four of her kids, it’s not a bad idea. Childcare is expensive![/quote]
