[quote=Anonymous]My mother helps to take care of my DS 5 days a week since he is newborn till he is 2.5 years old, so that I & DH can work without any worries. My currently 3 year old DS loves his grandma so much, and he once in a while does weekend sleepover at grandparent's house. DS is the only grandchild to my parents.

In opposite, MIL never takes care of DS for even 1 hour, and even she lives local. DS is not the only grandchild to MIL, she helps take care of niece (DH's brother's daughter) since newborn 5 days a week till she is 2 year old. Our DS was born first, and SIL's parents are both local & retired as well.  To DS, MIL is just another stranger, so they are not close at all.

Am I upset about MIL's behavior? Yes, but I would never want MIL to take care of DS because I honestly do not trust her at all. She does not treat 2 grandchildren equally, and I know that I & DS will never be close to her at all. I am just happy that my parents love him so much.

So, OP, just be it, find other options, try to find a lovely daycare that your DD can adjust better. My DS, under my mother's care for 2.5 years, has no problem adjusting to daycare on his first day. He loves it so much that he only cries for 1 min at dropoff that's it, and wants to go again next day. Of course, the daycare we pick comes with a big price, it is really fun & play-based, full of program and playground area. I was astonished that he adjusts so quickly without much separation anxiety.
