- For the last three years, my mom has been our childcare provider.
- She does a great job of looking after my two kids, but we have different rules for them.
- This creates tension and confusion.
When we moved to my hometown three years ago, my mother became our day care provider. She wanted to do it, but due to a deficit of day care slots, we also needed her to fill this role. And, of course, when choosing someone to be with my kids, I'd rather them be with my mom.
It was a good fit for everyone.
