[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, you are wrong. She owes you exactly zero child care. Don't have kids if you can't handle having kids. [/quote] This is unnecessarily harsh. Daycare is $22K a year and often has a huge waiting list; nanny is $50K+. It’s normal for OP to be panicking about childcare. It’s easy to look at a family member with “time” and think that’s a solution. Yes, MIL raised her kids, but what’s her plan for assisted living, car trips to appointments when she can’t drive, financial management when her mind is gone? Families help families. Now, it’s OK to put limits on this - I’ll do this for six months until you can get a daycare spot, and then stick firm to those limits. But a nope, don’t feel like it!?![/quote]
