I know im not a gran but this is the only place to get sensible advice.
Im back to work soon and my husband and i will be sharing the child care. My husband does not want his mum to help out with childcare because she is quite smothering and possesive however i have convinced him to let his mum help
out one day a week.
Now she has decided that she wants to retire so that she can come to our house to help out with childcare everyday. We are so independent and we just dont want this. We have told her once a week would be lovely but she has taken it badly. My husband is losing his patience and im worried that the they are going to fall out. I just dont understand she has always been so busy and independent in the past. What do i do to make this better?
