[quote=Anonymous]Yes, I would be fine with it. I have children, so my nephews play with my children. If anything, it would give me more of an opportunity to relax because the kids would entertain themselves. And so far, I've heard about throwing some extra eggs in for breakfast and trying to entertain the 7 year old while the younger one sleeps with Mom. Really not seeing the big deal here. I get my nephews on the weekend quite often. I enjoy spending time with them because it doesn't happen very often.

But of course many of the women on DCUM seem to have terrible family relationships, so YMMV.

First, it's obvious that it's not less of a burden on the OP, it's more.  So your "well, it would be less work for me" comparison is completely pointless.  Second, is there ever any reciprocity in your family?  Because in the OP's, there's not.  If that really wouldn't bother you, well, you're either a saint or a doormat.  Given the lack of understanding of how others might feel about this situation, I'm guessing saint is not the correct answer.  Third, it's a lot more than throwing an extra Eggo in teh toaster.  Please see the OP's follow-up post.  [/quote]
