[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, can you honestly say that you gave both your daughter and son an equal opportunity to request (or reject) childcare from you? It sounds to me like your daughter asked first, you agreed and told your son, and then your son and DIL found their own childcare since you told them you were effectively unavailable.[/quote] They live an hour away. Unless DS/DIL's work location is close to grandma, how would that even work? It would be a 2hr roundtrip twice a day to take the baby to grandma's house. No amount of free childcare would have been worth that for me. I agree with many of the previous points made though- fulltime childcare even for one baby is a big commitment and will leave you little time for anything else (or the other grandchild). I would think hard about that and see if part-time might be an option, or set an end date once the baby is a toddler. [/quote]
