[quote=Anonymous]Just because some have made some bad financial decisions is not a valid reason to keep him/her away from a grandchild. Heck, I have made some bad financial decisions yet I have cared for both of my grandchildren since their birth and have done pretty damn good at it.

OP:  How would you feel about compromising? it is hard to say it will/wont work out when honestly you are not sure. have a back up plan. Interview some nannies so you have someone in the wings just in case. Put your name on waiting lists for daycare centers. Again, just in case, so you have the back up plan.

I say bring him in, sit down and talk to him and outline that you want to try it out with the condition if it isnt working out, the understanding is either party can back out of it without animosity. You cant bring him all this way though making him think it will be a sure/definite thing only to find within weeks/months he is back out wondering what/where to go. Put his name on a wait list NOW for senior housing. Even if you are not sure he will need it, if/when the time comes for an opening, if plans changed, just as with childcare/centers, just tell them plans have changed. I am sure they will have a list of people to move onto.

Cant hurt trying, so you can at least say you did

good luck OP[/quote]
