[quote=Anonymous] I have 2 teens and my parents are the same. My mom told me "I raised my kids and I'm not helping you raise yours". I remember that message from when I was a small child. I've never asked her to look after my kids - I know the answer. Plus a nanny will follow my rules.[/quote] That's a shame. I'm a single mother who moved in with my mother after she had a stroke. She recovered and I've never moved out. She retired and then the next month, I got a teaching job with the same hours as my DD's school. My mom dropped my DD off and picked her up at school for the next 7-8 yrs. Our DD is very close to her even now. She is extremely helpful now that my mom is elderly and has a million doctor's appointments. Now my DD is the one driving her.[/quote]
