[quote=Anonymous]Op here

I definitely have my misgivings about this. I figured dcum would give me a lot of arguments why it wouldn't work. It is hard because my husband is guilt tripping me hard core about this.  He feels so obligated to help his father. I didn't bargain on so many sexist and homophobic responses but then that's dcum. (I would certainly have no problem having a gay or straight person watching my baby as long as I thought they were trustworthy)

I think the reality is that he feels so much obligation towards his father that it was almost inevitable that we'd end up becoming responsible for him.  I don't think he has any retirement savings other than Social Security and pestering him to find out how much credit card debt he has because that's another issue.

As for other questions I highly doubt the roommate could afford a trip out to visit. I'm not spending any energy worrying about him.

I definitely think a trial period is a good. As is figuring out some back up jobs should this not work out not.

As for not being able to afford daycare go to hell. Yes I can afford childcare. Just exploring this as an alternative.  We also considered asking a cousin who is an early childhood education major and former daycare worker but I think she is working in a different field right now and might be going back to school so it wouldn't work.[/quote]
