[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me, it’s grandparents who step in and provide childcare on a regular basis. And my sister, who I see every weekend. [/quote] Free babysitting and house checking for those who have children and are too lazy to care for them. Let's call it what it is![/quote] Wrong. It’s not “babysitting” when it’s grandparents or aunts / uncles. It’s “caring.” That’s what a village is. One of my kids and I were laughing about our situation this weekend. We (the grandparents) had all the grandkids overnight. She’s the mother of the older ones but the younger one (a toddler) was with us too. On the way out the door our daughter laughed and pointed at the toddler and said “do you think she ever wonders where the hell she is now and which of us are her actual parents?”Obviously it’s a joke out in our family the kids are passed around like basketballs.
