So, I have two boys and am due to go back to work shortly. DS1 is nearly three and DS2 is 8 months. Before I had DS2 I worked four days, my mum would have him two days a week, MIL once and he would go to childminder for the other day.
This time, my mum has agreed to do two days again, but MIL doesn't want to have both, she only wants to look after the eldest. Which is absolutely fine, but I don't feel comfortable splitting the boys up. I would rather they both went to a childminder for two days, rather than one go to childminder and the other spend the day with his grandma.... I know it will cost more money, but I think it will be easier for little one if he sees his brother there.
I am dreading telling MIL, will she think I am being unreasonable? Am I?
