They watch her occasionally now. But the bond they formed during that age still carries. She loves her grandparents. Even now, she likes to go "spend a night" there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-grandparent-care#post-2564238 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 09:22:17 +0000 stiletto_mom 2564238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It will be my mom and we will pay her. My mom lives with us, so it'll be a nice perk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-grandparent-care#post-2564235 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 09:17:03 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2564235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents do 2 days a week and my in laws do 3. When they are unavailable, my sister usually fills in. It's a lot of driving but otherwise works great. My son is so close with his grandparents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-grandparent-care#post-2564199 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 08:22:28 +0000 petunia354 2564199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom watches DS every day, when he's not in preschool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-grandparent-care#post-2564198 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 08:21:28 +0000 snowjewelz 2564198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom for a few reasons -</p> <p>1) They moved closer to us<br /> 2) His parents don't drive on high-way<br /> 3) His mom is pre-occupied w/ his sister's kids</p> <p>But even if his parents are more available, I'd prefer my mom anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-grandparent-care#post-2564183 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 07:38:43 +0000 Mamaof2 2564183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH's mom watched DD from 3 months to 15 months - I would have loved for my mom to do it but she has a life :silly: </p> <p>MIL is retired and did nothing all day so she was so excited to watch her!</p> <p>My mom works PT , volunteers for tons of stuff and travels the world! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-grandparent-care#post-2564181 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 07:36:52 +0000 Alba4 2564181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Yes, we are so lucky.
