[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This happens to us. My B/SIL (who I otherwise love and think are wonderful) use my M/FIL for daycare for their youngest child and sitting for all 3 kids --and have done so for the past 9 years. I think it's pretty egregious. the ILs are in their 80s and not well. They of course say yes, but I think it's obnoxious. They say they don't have $$ for daycare (but had 3 kids). It also means that the few times per year we ask for an evening of childcare or a sleepover, we can't because they are always booked. [/quote]

Exactly! I wouldn't expect grandparents at their age to be the primary source of childcare because of their age, but it would be nice to have some back up for emergencies (when our plans A and B fail).  [/quote]

OMG are you me?! My B/SIL do the same thing, but it's Mon-Fri and my MIL believes it's their duty to take care of their grandchildren. I think my FIL feels trapped that he can't really retire-- went from retirement to taking care of little kids all week long, 8 hours a day.[/quote]
