[quote=Anonymous]My grandparents were older (late thirties when they had my mother who was early thirties when she had me) but they helped her constantly. She was a SAHM but my grandparents were always stopping by to take us on an outing for the day or even just out to dinner and a movie so my parents could be alone. We adored them. They also stayed with us for weeks at a time when we were elementary age so my parents could travel overseas alone. My parents try to help but there are strings attached and stipulations. My mother is a late riser so she will not do anything before noon. My father is morbidly obese so he really can't help at all. And my mother keeps score of how often she helps vs my MIL because she wants to make sure she isn't stuck with the lions share. My kids are school age so not too much work but we are both medical workers and sometimes have strange hours.[/quote]
