I feel shitty posting this trivial stuff when there's some heaviness being posted in here, but... my mother in law just retired and is bored, so she offered to be our full time daycare provider, for free. It would save us over $1000 a month, but I really don't want it to happen. The preschool/daycare my kid goes to is good for him. He learns how to socialize and they're prepping him for ACTUAL school. She'll just stick him in front of the tv and feed him rice for 8 hours. And though her English is good, her accent is super heavy, and from what I've seen from the other kids in the family being watched by grandparents, they can barely speak. Lots of grunting. I feel like he'd backslide and regress in to a tv turd. She's hyped on it, but there's no way we're doing this.
