[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d put my foot down with my mom. If she were healthy, that would be one thing, but she’s not, and a cancer patient undergoing chemo in her 70s is a completely inappropriate choice to provide ongoing, full time childcare to two young children. Your mom and dad need to prioritize their own health at this time. Your sister and BIL will just have to come up with a Plan B. If your parents are unavailable, maybe they’ll reconsider uprooting their daughters for the remainder of the school year.

I hope all of your relatives are healthy and happy at this time next year.[/quote]

Oh good, lots more posters treating adults like babies today. This kind of thing always brings them out. Her mother is in her 70s, not a 2-year-old. She gets to make her own choices. OP needs to butt out.[/quote]

No, OP doesn’t have to butt out. She can’t control her mom, but she doesn’t have to be passive and she doesn’t have to act like this cockamamie scheme is normal and fine. IOW, it’s okay to be the voice of reason. Mom may or may not listen to OP, but at least OP won’t have to wonder if she could have stopped this madness by acknowledging it for what it is and calling it out.[/quote]
