[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meh- MYOB.

You do realize that kids “going to work” with their parents is nothing new? Who do you think was supervising all the kids who grew up on farms, while both parents toiled away? a nanny? 🤣 You are being quite overdramatic.

It does not sound ideal to me, as described, but certainly no worse than a lot of possible childcare situations that spring to mind. Preschool and classes for kids &lt;5 are not necessary, in most cases. The kids obviously attend school FT once eligible for public K. It would not work for our family, but I really do not see the problem.

As for the mooching- super annoying, for sure! Just say no. BIL and SIL will get the hint. I would not allow that regularly either.

DP, not the OP. The BIL is a fool. I'm surprised he's still getting work if he's becoming known as that plumber who brings his kids--[b]who then are left unsupervised in another area of his client's business.[/b] What business owner wants the potential liabiity and just potential pain-in-the-ass-ness of having four- and seven-year-olds sitting somewhere in the business because the plumber brought them along? I bet he gets cut some slack by some clients who assume he's hard up financially, or he's spinning a lie to them about not being able to afford child care blah blah. Because no serious business owner is going to put up with that for long. Even if they just love kids, these kids are in someone else's business where they just don't belong.

I said it before: It's incredibly unprofessional of the BIL. Someone else's place of business is not his private child care facility. [/quote]
