[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would think watching the kids and picking up toys is plenty.  It's tiring for an older person to watch two kids.  Heck it's tiring even for me to be alone with my kids all day.  I would love to have a grandparent as helpful as yours.[/quote]

+1.  She is not the nanny and she is doing you a favor.  If you would like the house cleaned OR dinner cooked, take the $$ you were going to pay her and hire someone to come in and assist with those items.  Also, make sure to be grateful to her and thank her.  Taking care of young kids is hard work and I know my MIL is usually exhausted after a few hours with our 18month old.  I don't think feeding her dinner and letting her put her feet up is asking too much.  SHe has taken care of your kids all day.  [/quote]

This came off much harsher than I intended!  I was just trying to gently suggest being grateful - which from your most recent post, it seems like you understand!  Sounds like your MIL is a sweet lady!  :-)[/quote]
