[quote=Anonymous]OP I am really sorry you're in this position. Your mom will need more help before your dad retires. You spending 2 hours in the car, in addition to being away from your kids, and spending money on a sitter, is not a good solution. Your wife is right to push back on that. My guess is the cost you would spend paying someone to watch your kids, plus wear and tear on your car, would be more than outsourcing to someone close to your parents. I would suggest finding someone to help out during the week, but find a time that you can spend with your parents. Maybe Saturday mornings and you can bring pre-made meals and groceries. Find something that works for you and your wife. If your dad is the primary caretaker, he will need breaks and support.[/quote]
