[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have friends who are quite clearly taking advantage of their parents and in laws. It's upsetting. [/quote]

That's an interesting statement.

If the parents or in-laws do not mind, why are you upset?  Maybe they are very happy that they are getting to spend time with their grandkids or maybe they are happy to be helping their kids? Or, are you upset that you do not have a similar setup?[/quote]

Agree.  My parents would be livid if DD was in day care full time, it would be considered a serious insult.  It was tough enough getting them to be okay with putting DD in morning preschool; they wanted her the entire day.  (We used to live across the country where DD was in day care, we moved to be near them).

If I had any inkling that my parents didn't really want this, I wouldn't have them do it.  And if their circumstances change and they're not able or willing to handle it, then we will figure something else out.

But yeah, way, way too early to be worried about this.  I don't know if I would want to be full time care for my grandkids either, but it's not something I think about.[/quote]
