I have a 10 month old DS and planning childcare for my return to work (part time).
My DM keeps telling me I could use her DP for childcare. Theyve been together a while but I wouldn’t say I know him well.
I don’t really like him though. He’s not someone who you think “oh he’s nice and friendly. He’ll be really good with kids”.
He’s very quiet and has an arrogant feel to him.
My DM also tells me about him - like he’s quite controlling with money, he controlled his kids (now adults) with fear. They all have some kind of mental health issue now.
I’ve hinted at my mum numerous times that I’m not keen on anyone doing childcare who I don’t really know. However, she keeps bringing it up and volunteers him for babysitting when I have a KIT day or something.
I trust my mum but should I trust her opinion about him being “so great with your DS”.
Would you let someone you didn’t know very well look after your DC’s. It would save us £200 a month but I’m just not keen on him! My mum won’t let it go though!
