[quote=Anonymous]I doubt his mother (who also provides childcare in the UK) wants to fly over and provide childcare here twice a month if he is travelling 25-30 times a year. The jet lag, UK responsibilities and never being in one place for more than a week or so would not be sustainable. But childcare is part of the reality of most divorced families. Most parents work to financially provide for themselves and their kids and that means their kids need childcare - daycare, extended family, before and afterschool pprgrams, babysitters, nannies etc. Needing childcare doesn't make one a bad parent and if you approach it that way, you will look petty. Many people have grandparents who support them with childcare. Also given his mother currently provides childcare to a grandchild, I don't think you can argue she is too frail or unwell to be capable of doing so for this grandchild.[/quote]
