[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't leave a one year old for a week with anyone. Much less someone I didn't trust. This trip will be a disaster, OP. Don't do it.[/quote]

LOL.  The baby is in day care all day![/quote]

Did you read the OPs post? The inlaws don't want the baby in daycare. [/quote]

You're missing my point.  You're saying you wouldn't leave a one year old for a week with anyone.  The OP has baby in day care every day.  She obviously does leave the baby with others.  How does she explain to them why she feels perfectly fine to leave the baby in day care all day but isn't comfortable leaving her with her own grandparents?

Remember, DH asked them to do it.  So it's not like the granparents are so awful and untrustworthy that it didn't occur to either parent to have these grandparents watch the baby.

Grandparents don’t—and if they aren’t willing to get up to speed and don’t respect the parents’ methods? Well, the daycare teacher is a far better bet.

Not to mention, daycare teachers know that child better than the grandparents do.[/quote]

Ha ha.  Sure.  That's why even the best ones in DC barely pay them minimum wage.  Everybody is lining up to be day care workers . . . [/quote]

please don't make this about daycare. DD's daycare workers are wonderful. [/quote]

Let's just say I have a very, very close family member who works as an aide in one of the top day care providers in the city.  I'm not saying they're not wonderful in many ways.  But there's a reason why they're day care providers.   I gather you didn't give up your job to become a daycare provider?
