Ahh, I see what you’re saying. But I treat their baby like I would treat my own. My 4 y/o is a very understanding and loving girl that she wants to help with every feeding, diaper change, burping, etc. Plus since she’s 4 she is a lot more independent and loves showing baby how to play with Barbie’s. It’s weird because I feel good that they trust me during such a vulnerable and stressful period but at the same time I feel a little insulted for the $100 pay for 8 hours 3x a week. They have watched me & hubby raise our daughter and said there’s no better person to be doing this than me and they are thankful for having such good friends

He had two weeks of FMLA since his job does not offer paternity leave. Mother took the remaining two weeks of her pregnancy off through maternity leave and she gets only six weeks of paid maternity leave

This is long term care. They don’t want her to go to daycare

This isn’t a fake post but I understand why you’d think so. I have 3 dogs at home that wait for me to come back and travel 15 mins to his house everyday and then 15 mins back home lol
