OP,

If you're still reading, please don't take all these comments to heart. Your parents are helping you out, and have some annoying traits. Surely you can deal with those while you're temporarily in need of childcare, right? Take the long view. Your mother is highly anxious and unreasonable, but doesn't seem like she would hurt your children. She just likes to blow everything out of proportion and blame you. Annoying, but ultimately, she won't be able to do this for ever. She'll get older, the kids will go to school, you'll get jobs and will pay for aftercare at school, all this problem will go away in a few years.

My advice would be hang in there. Don't take the bait. She want to accompany you? Only if the doctor lets her. She's worried about something, she wants to buy something? Sure, let her. She can pretend to be the only responsible parent if that's what makes her anxiety better. She can whine and boast about the situation to her friends if she wants. Meanwhile you're saving money, and don't need to run around looking for a daycare. I call that a win-win :-)

And don't worry about the undereye circles. They're due to allergies.
