[quote=Anonymous]Yes, our kids have been in daycare since they were 5 months old, so they've been cared for by non-family members since then. As for paying babysitters so we could have an evening out, I don't think we did it until our youngest was a reliable sleeper - so maybe close to two years old. I do understand OPs frustration. My parents provide full-time childcare for my sibling's children and will also have them for sleepovers whenever my sibling and spouse need extended childcare. It has definitely infringed on my parents' plans to visit more than once (there are other issues). BUT. It's just as much my parents' fault for not enforcing boundaries, which is the most frustrating part. Even sadder is that I don't even want my parents to visit just to watch my kids - I'd actually like to spend time with them.[/quote]
