[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can say no but be prepared for her to back out of childcare. [/quote] This. We told my mom no and it’s been years of hurt feelings. I’d still say no because his judgement isn’t good and mom defers to him but it has definitely had a negative effect on our relationship [/quote] Yup. It's partially generational, partially grumpy old man, partially that my mom doesn't feel comfortable living as the only person in her home, and partially that he hasn't told her of certain of his problems. Or maybe he has told her but she's in denial or "forgot", I dunno-- I found out through others in the community about his adult child's drug problem. Anyway, a huge blind spot around the boyfriend is all too common in older women. I would say no.[/quote]
