[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that 60 isn't old and you need to tread very carefully OP.

What you could do perhaps is ask your MB if she'd like you to be available for a handful of OT hours, or "help" calls if Grandma gets overwhelmed.  You can suggest that maybe she puts together a couple of local babysitters or mommies helpers type kids who could help Grandma out if she wants it.

And you could draft a "cheat sheet" for your MB to revise/amend.  When I left my kids w/ anyone I left very detailed instructions about bedtime rituals, favorite songs, tricks for managing meltdowns, overall schedule, etc...  So you can support MB in helping put things like that together.

But tread very lightly on the "she will be overwhelmed, she's old, she doesn't know the kids well, etc..."  VERY lightly.

And be prepared for her to do just fine!  Don't assume the worst - it won't help anything or anyone.[/quote]

To be honest, I do not want to be on call for grandma or do OT. They have 2 sitters they use for date nights and weekends. I guess when the date is closer I can start asking questions [/quote]
