Just a question , NOT a judgement but will your brother and /or sister in law see this video ? And if so won't that cause problems for you ? I'm not saying I think they are right but won't an Internet rant backfire on you if they watch this ? As I said just a question , I hope things get sorted out for you though. Peace .

@cyn2408 Nope, they don't know about this channel thankfully haha

Similar situation here. No kids of my own, but my dad's wife has 2 daughters that both had babies in the past month. She has already said she plans on having the babies at their house 5 days a week?! My dad was INFORMED of this, not consulted. He is her husband, it is his house too, and its just taken over it seems. She works full time, then is going to watch 2 babies?! When does my dad get to enjoy some time of his own too instead of being forced babysitting??

[SARAH25PCOS]

@longlocks55 Same thing with my Dad. He wasn't consulted, he was just told!

I'm sorry you have to go through this. However, I think that your mom has her own voice/opinion and if she really didn't want to do this, she would tell them.  It sounds like you are a little jealous (which I don't blame you).

Just try not to let it bother you! :)

@amandabrunet87 If ya' knew my Mom - you'd know there's no way in hell she would say anything because she feels guilty. Defiantly not jealous - if you knew my Brother you'd know why LOL...

[thebabymuse]

it's nice that your niece has someone willing to spend time with her, and hopefully your mother will have a strong enough backbone to say "no" if she ever truly feels taken advantage of. she sounds like a fantastic grandmother - so willing to help out since your SIL obviously can't afford to stay home like you can. sucks that you're feeling left out... can you imagine how hard it would be as a single mom without even a husband to help you?? i'd take an "absent" grandparent ANY DAY. you're LUCKY.

[Trust716]

omg... i love you, your opinions, and thoughts! amen for having a voice and using it!!

[simoninhaassis]

Wow. It seems that you are talking about my family instead of yours...

I've learned that you can't change people, just pray for them and hope they will eventually look out the box.

Good luck.

It sounds like their taking advantage of your moms kindness.Sounds to me like they both work above min wage jobs so they should be making enough to at least pay someone or a daycare at least part-time I hate when people cry broke as a excuse to get over on someone else..Maybe your mom should find a part-time job and make herself unavailable to see what they do I bet they'll find and pay someone super fast

[jmis2008]

you should have a conversation with your brother's wife...cause she's the mom of the baby...try to make her understand that her baby is hers and your brother's responsability not others....specially not YOUR MOM...i think they're just taking advantage of her.....good luck BTW i love your videos,your babys are so cute GOD bless them!!!!

Totally agree with you & the frustration. I think it's on your mom & she needs to put her foot down & quit being a push over. She cannot please everyone & after 20+ years of working it's time for her to have fun & enjoy her life being that she raised her children, now it's time for her to be a grandmother & not a door mat. Many not all hispanics are used to having their parents raise their children while they work. I am hispanic & have family who do it and I tell them Oh hell no!

[xsnowhitequeenx1]

can't help but think most of the thumbs down are probably from others who are users as well. it's sad when people prey on older people especially and burden them by taking care of their kids or getting money or room and board or things like that. it's even worse when people like that are family members. i have had family members do this to elders in my family as well as to my great aunt. it's unreal how people will not take full responsibility for their OWN kids! if they can't afford it too bad

[wrenslifejourney]

@SARAH25PCOS I know exactly how you feel. I have been there. Our mothers think they can save the world and if they don't know one else will. It is hard to stop them once they get it into their heads that they have to fix something or help.

[Ready4Miracles]

Personally, I say it's time to tell your brother to grow some balls and find a way to care for his child w/o sacrificing your parents lives in the meantime. Grandparents are there to help out sometimes i know, but it's a parents responsibility as the parent to raise their own child & allow the child & grandparents to be just that.....grandparents to a child. Never a nanny. I'm always telling my parents I expect them Never to raise my twins & just to be there for them as grandparents. Now is the

[meredegaby]

I hear your frustration and agree with you. My question is, has your mother told you she doesnt want to watch the baby? Maybe she doesnt say no, but perhaps she actually enjoys it? Im just throwing it out there. Unfortunately, you cant do anything to stop it, they are adults and will make their own decisions.All that being said, it really sucks how your brother and sis in law dont see this as imposing on her,considering she is newly retired!
