[quote=Anonymous]Add me to the chorus of people who have been in your son’s position. My SIL is getting divorced and my ILs are supporting her, so there’s no resentment but we have seen them once since this arrangement began almost a year ago. We are all very worried about my SIL and the kids but if this goes on long term they will not have much relationship with our kids if any. This arrangement makes the other kids the priority, you will not have the freedom to see your son’s kids on a weekday as long as you are doing this. You will have to clear any vacation you take with your son’s family with your daughter. And you will be very very tired. I would do this for the first year only. Unless you are very young and in great health you will not be up for 9 hours a day with a toddler. The grandparents I see watching 3 year olds look exhausted and default to handing them a phone A LOT. Daycare is actually pretty great for toddlers, especially if they don’t have a long day. [/quote]
