[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here[b]. My mom cannot take PTO. Her parents are (thankfully!) still both alive and in their 90s so she uses/saves all her PTO taking them to doctors appts and caring for them. [/b]2/3 of our regular sitters are full time nannies and I feel weird about asking them to leave their full time families in a childcare lurch for the day. The other one is in both grad school and works during the day. But you're right- I'm pretty indifferent about going in general just because the amount of mental work, logistical planning, and money (wedding gift, 4hr drive, sitter @ $25hr, possible hotel room) just doesn't feel worth it to me.[/quote] This is why I haaate "can't your mom help?" My mom is up to HERE with caregiving for adults. Poor sandwich generation grandmas![/quote]
