[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

Yes, I am a single mom.
Mom watched DD for 60 minutes.
DD went to sleep at 8:30.

I rescind any thought that you were out of line.

If you asked your mom to help, an hour of hanging out with her grandchild is not too much to ask. [/quote]

Mom watched Op's DD and Op's sister's kids - right before bedtime when kids generally start to get whiny, cranky.  My guess is that Grandma also cooked dinner, cleaned up, provided lunch, etc for both families, too.

An hour of childcare is not a long time unless it is at the end of a busy day, when you are already worn out and ready to put your own feet up.....and the kiddos are worn out and cranky and need to be put to bed.[/quote]

OP here.  To clarify... my DD and 1 cousin were snuggling and reading in Grandma's bed from 7:30-8:30. DD fell asleep at 8:30 in Grandma's bed, and then Grandma moved her next door to the crib. At 9:30, my mom came in and told me to finish up. This was Saturday evening-not Thanksgiving. Other family members were off doing their own thing, as well---From 8:30-9:30, Grandma was in bed reading. We had all been out for a late lunch in a restaurant so there was no dinner/cooking that day----everyone was too full from the lunch (and ice cream shop for dessert) for dinner.  Breakfast was everyone fending for themselves. [/quote]
