I pay my mom (and give an end of the year bonus), and that I think helps alleviate some of the tension. You must have good communication, though, and exercise that prior to starting the agreement and regularly check-in. I think if you have a good relationship with the grandparent that will take on the role as nanny, nothing but good would come of it. So readers, let’s hear it - what are your thoughts on the “granny as nanny” situation? Is this a childcare option for you, and have you taken it? What do you see as the pros and cons of grandparents as regular babysitters? Is there anything you would have done differently or anything you wish you’d known before asking a grandparent to provide childcare? (Disclaimer: my kids have AMAZING yet different grandparents on both sides. I know that puts her in an awkward position and somewhat in competition with my kids’ other grandmother. For example, she can’t spoil her grandkids in the traditional sense since she’s around them on a daily basis. My mom can’t always do “normal” grandma things.

It’s awkward that I am “the boss” and I know my mom isn’t completely on board with some aspects of my parenting style. Everybody generally complains about their boss. Mine is one who is very selfless so we can have tense moments when I’ve crossed a line and don’t know it. Some parents are better than others when it comes to drawing boundaries.

You know how your parents raised you and you can expect a flavor of that with your own children. They are known commodities - to put it in a very objective and somewhat sterile manner.I can completely trust her to handle my daughter’s multiple severe food allergies as carefully as I would. The grandkids have my mom’s DNA, so of course she wants them to thrive - not only thrive, but stay alive. Grandparents have a vested interest in the children’s development and safety.The inseparable and irreplaceable bond my children build with their grandmother.The Positive Aspects of Family Caregivers Here are Kristine’s thoughts on the pros and cons of using grandparents as caregivers: My husband and I work 80 hours within 9 days so we alternate Fridays off.” To refresh your memory, or in case you missed her post, here’s how she described her childcare setup: “My mom watches them Monday to Thursday. So when Kristine, a manager mom in Houston who was kind enough to share a week in her life with us, noted that her mom watches her kids often, we had to ask her for more thoughts. We’ve talked about grandparents as caregivers before, but it’s been a while. Granny as nanny: It’s happening more than ever these days, and there are definitely pros and cons to this particular childcare setup.
