[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once the reality of how hard it is to care for a baby hits, your mom will not want to do full time care every other week--I'd be surprised if she ultimately agrees to more than a few days a month. Just get a full time nanny (or daycare). Have mom come and try it out, but, once she is stuck alone in your house with the baby in an area she doesn't live in, she will stop saying she wants every other week.[/quote] +1. This is grandma's wishful thinking. Wait until she makes these trips a few times and has to take care of an infant for a full day. It's not the same as getting your snuggles in while visiting on a weekend!!!! My Mom offered to quit her job and babysit for us when my DD was born (she is close to retirement anyway). I explained that it'd have to be 8am-5pm Monday-Friday, not when she feels like coming by. So DD is in daycare and grandma comes to visit on weekends.[/quote]
