[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, I agree with OP on this one. Her MIL made her choice, nobody owes her a relaxed lifestyle. Part of the frustration here is not childcare, it's berating OP for continuing to work, for not helping when MIL clearly could have done so. In the end OP and her DH may end up taking care of her in laws but her frustrations are justified.[/quote] Exactly. I know OP does not want to get into her own child care arrangements, but my guess is that with a high stress/high pay job, she has regular child care covered. However, any 2 parent working family knows that last minute stuff comes up- last minute travel, can't make pick up, day care is closed, whatever. If my able-bodied 59 YO MIL refused to help with those kinds of situations -- not talking about being a full-time nanny-- then yeah, I'm not going to look too generously upon her down the road.[/quote]
