[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Consider it a blessing in disguise.  If she can't handle you putting up any boundaries with her, you know she isn't going to respect your parenting decisions so her not watching DC2 is a good thing.

I'm much more comfortable sending my DD to daycare than I am leaving her with either my mother or MIL for babysitting.  Daycare is up to date on best practices and they don't mess around when it comes to safety.  MIL and my mother blow off even the most basic safety stuff (outlet covers are apparently an invention of helicopter parents, dontchaknow) so I could never trust them with the baby for any substantial amount of time.

Haha. This is actually how I feel too. I love my MIl but she always had a "housekeeper"(really a nanny) and has literally no idea how to take care of kids. She also constantly falls asleep(along with fil who does the same) and has no instinct of basic safety. So yeah, even if my mil paid US to have her watch our baby we would decline. My youngest just turned 5 and I would just now be comfortable having them have a sleep over etc... over there.[/quote]
