[quote=Anonymous]We had free child care for eight years thanks to grandma....but then she got breast cancer. So did my friends...until grandma and grandpa thought babysitting eight hours a day was too draining (and boring). And older parents (once they hit 60) have multiple doctors appointments even if they are healthy...so one of my friends ended up going the nanny route when her parents continuously had appointments, got sick, were tired, had theater tickets, wanted to travel, etc. And while most grandparents don't mind after school care for a few hours, most aren't equipped to entertain kids all day during the summer...and summer camp is way more expensive than daycare (I'm talking several thousand for the summer, and that's from 9 to 3...before/after care nearly doubles it). And what if your roof goes? Or you have a plumbing issue? Or you want to travel or eat out? Factor all of that in.[/quote]
