[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's a good time for your son to learn that going out every day just because he wants to isn't necessarily going to happen. It's fine for him to have his preference and make it known (as you said OP, he's not 'acting up' with your parents, just asking for the nanny) but that doesn't mean he's always going to get it.[/quote] + 1 He will be fine. As you said this is 2 days a month. Not worth going into debt for. Not worth hiring someone else when this is most likely a short term phase and it's likely he'd act the same with a new part time sitter. It really is okay for kids not to have their every demand met. He is not going to be traumatized and this is not going to cause long term damage. [/quote] +1 But make sure your parents also visit on the weekends, with you and DH present, so he has the opportunity to develop a relationship with them in a different context, where they are not the caretakers.[/quote]
