[quote=Anonymous]It sounds to me like it's not so much the fact that they're interested in babysitting that's the issue -- it's that they won't let it go. You've probably tried this, but -- if you're comfortable with it -- maybe give them a very specific answer. Say something like, "I have so little time to stay home at the beginning, I really want to get as much time with the baby as I can. But once I'm working again, I'm sure we'll need a sitter once a month or so." (Of course, ONLY say this if you'd actually be comfortable having them babysit once a month or so once you go back to work.) I'm thinking part of the reason they're pushing is they feel like you're fobbing them off with excuses and might not EVER let them babysit; if you give them a more specific answer, they might unclench a bit.
