That they never get a break from their children. That they have no family to watch their kids. How about Hiring a sitter if you need a break ? It is not your parents job to take your children for a day and hour or a week. They raised their children, raise yours.
Surround yourself with people that add to your life not subtract from it.
I have never hd this problem i mean my mom will watch my child for me to get a brak but not take care of my child. I mean i agree with you It isn't another person's place to watch your child. a sitter isn't that much if they really wanted a break that bad then they could always pay for someone to watch their child.. but i think people should think about that before having children!

I've always wondered how people find sitters lol my kids are young, we don't have any teens in the neighborhood. My mom lives nearby, but I don't rely on her for childcare. I have a couple girlfriends I've sat for and vice versa, but hiring a sitter has been a different ball game thus far.
sittercity or care.com people that want to sit put their profiles up you can screen them and run background checks to make sure they are worthy of leaving your children with.

Some people can't afford a sitter and yet still need a break.

How about trading with friends. When my boys were small, I had a group of 5 friends we took turns going out while another set of parents babysat. The kids loved a it and we all had a chance to get out without the kids and knew they were being well taken care of.

A question for those who have kids close in age..
When was your due date and when did you give birth?
