I have a DD who is 2.
Her childcare currently looks like this:
Monday: MIL looks after her
Tuesday: my mum looks after her
Wednesday: MIL looks after her
Thursday: my mum looks after her
I'm off on a Friday.
My MIL also looks after my sister in law (husband's sister) DD on a Tuesday so she's looking after children three days a week but they're never with her at the same time. Nevertheless my DH and I have decided that we would like to relieve some pressure on MIL by putting my DD into nursery on a Monday to take the pressure off her a bit and she's happy with this. My DH also wants to put DD into nursery on a Tuesday (my Mother's Day) but my own mum has said she's fine with the two days as she has my dad around and they're fit and able and enjoy it. I had compromised with my DH that maybe the afternoon on a Tuesday would be OK but even then I was hesitant. He started to fill out the form this morning and I said to hang fire with the Tuesday til I double checked with my mum if she wanted a morning or afternoon free. When I spoke with my mum she stressed again that she really didn't find the two days a problem and she'd rather save DH and I the £110 a month for half day care and keep her all day as she takes her to toddler group and DD still naps.
Anyway, DH is now not speaking with me as I have "broken the compromise". I am trying to tell him that people are trying to help us and save us over £1200 a year in childcare and there would be people out there biting someone's hand off to be able to save on childcare.
AIBU??
