[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Team MIL. [/quote]

+1 I wouldn't work for anyone who blew up at me either. [/quote]

Grammy here and agree 100%! First, I wouldn't provide daycare for my grandkids (not an issue because my DIL stays at home.). I raised my kids. I love keeping my grandkids occasionally and do so any chance I get! But I'm not a daycare provider. And more importantly, if you blew up at me, there is no way ever I would keep your child.

You made the mess. Deal with it. [/quote]

I guess you missed the part where OP said MIL repeatedly harassed her about having a second child despite initially calm Request to drop it? OP didn't make rhebmess; MIL did by not minding her own business. It's so typical of another MIL to just jump in and blame the DIL no matter what MIL did. Ugh. [/quote]

Since family members might want to give each other the benefit of the doubt, MIL might have been encouraging her son and DIL to have the second child quickly because she felt her energy level going down.  Taking care of infants and toddlers is a lot of work, and as an older person, it is difficult to predict how you will feel a few years in the future.[/quote]
