[quote=Anonymous]My mom moved in with us and watches DD full-time. What makes it work is: 1. It was her idea. I was actually against it because I thought it would put a strain on our marriage but DH was 100% for it and it's worked very well. 2. She lives here and it's really full-time. I see stories all the time about grandparents who want to watch the kid 2-3 days/week until the kid shows up and then it's too much, or they want to switch days, or they want to go out of town. This is stressful because you have to have backup coverage on backup coverage in a way you don't really need for daycare. You having a flexible job might mitigate this. 3. My mom is very healthy and spry. Orange Theory 4x/week spry, not "still does the crossword puzzle" spry. Not all grandparents are able to chase after toddlers.[/quote]
