[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The childcare problem is created by the greed of living far beyond your means.  If you want children then you need to be absolutely certain that you can (1) pay for outside childcare. Or (2,) one of you stays home and you live in one salary.

If you are stupid enough to have a child on your own then you better be sure that you can pay for childcare.

Childcare is the sole responsibility of the two people who create the child!  If your use a donor then it is the sole responsibility of the woman who chooses this options.  Unpaid childcare from relatives is not an option.[/quote]

We aren't talking about daycare, Gladys. We just though maybe once in a while you'd actually like to have the kids over to spend time with them. We live well within our means and I don't work. [/quote]

Could be they aren't interested in babysitting the kids cause they are being micromanaged or they have to follow too many rules?
I found if I wasn't controlling about what they fed my kids or what they did with them or how much they overindulged them the grandparents and the kids were much happier and more likely to hang together. [/quote]

Yes, look at the tik toks of moms telling grandparents off for doing something slightly different.  The condescending explanation takes 5 minutes.[/quote]
