[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds to me like there are a lot of selfish posters who cannot see how outrageous it is to foist a 2 year old on grandparents full time for their "vacation".

OP, you are completely correct and people on here are crazy.[/quote]

Everyone on this thread is reacting to the way OP presented the "problem," starting with the fact that the grandparents help their son and his wife with childcare for perfectly ordinary things -- a sick kid on a workday, a date night, an out of town trip.  And it was presented as evidence that said son and wife are unable to care for their own kid.  So by the time everyone read on to the actual issue, they were already against OP because she started out of the gate sounding like an envious, judgmental twat.  [/quote]

The reason I provided that information is so people understand the nature of the care provided (backup/evening/weekend) vs day to day care.  I didn't intend to offend you or anyone else with that information. [/quote]

New poster: The very title of this thread is "Husband's sibling can't handle his own child."  Do you honestly not see how incredibly mean-spirited and provocative that was?  I came on here thinking that CPS was being called on your BIL/SIL, that this was a child who was not parented.  Not that family were helping at the time of a birth.  You really have decided to take a monstrously distorted view of what happens in many families -- other family members babysit an older child in late pregnancy.[/quote]
