My MIL moved from California after losing her job across country to be with her grandchildren. She has been here for five months and I have asked her to babysit 2 kids about 4 times. Keep in mind, she's unemployed. The other day she told me she has a problem with her being our only option for childcare. (Childcare meaning a night out on the town with my hubby.) She feels that we should have and be using a paid babysitter. She feels like she's being taken advantage of since we don't have a paid babysitter. I feel like it's extremely selfish of her to suggest we let a stranger watch our kids when she's more than capable. Like she cares more about her own needs than the safety of her grandchildren. This is the reason she moved here!....allegedly. Am I taking advantage of her to ask her to babysit once in a while? BTW, last time we paid her and she took it.
