[quote=Anonymous]We don't have any family nearby and only one living grandparent, who's in her 80s and in poor health. Here's how we deal with it: found a really good in-home daycare and nurtured a wonderful relationship with the women working there, all of whom (apart from the owner) have babysat for us. The kids love them, and they spoil the kids. We call one of the women the kids' bonus grandma. When the kids grew out of the daycare ages, we got au pairs. We make it work. Seething with jealousy is unhealthy and I agree with pp that you need an attitude reset.[/quote]
