My stepson and his SO had a baby girl last April. They came to me and asked if I’d take her in my daycare. Of course, I can’t imagine anyone else caring for my grand baby. But I did tell them before she was born that the last few years I’ve been working towards having all teachers kids. The last few years in the summers it’s been just my kids ages 11 and 3 and my nieces 9 and 4. It’s been very nice and relaxed. This year the younger two can make it through the day without a nap if I want them to. All I’ve been working towards of relaxed summers, being able to hop in the car and go the pool, park, movies etc... are not really easy to do with an infant in tow. And the idea of being stuck inside all summer sounds like no fun, especially with two SA kids.
I did tell them upfront about me doing all teachers kids, so they were aware but we never really discussed what that would mean. I love her and love having her here. But I really don’t want to keep her for the summer, I want to enjoy it with my children.
Please let me know your thoughts and ideas of how I should handle this? I’m feeling so torn
