Man Complains About Paying MIL $3K For Babysitting, Now Stuck With A $3.6K Daycare Bill

Spread the love

Taking care of kids is a full-time job—one that, unless you’re the parent, usually comes with a paycheck.

This Redditor asked her mom to babysit her two young children while she and her husband worked, offering to pay her $3,000 a month. But her husband complained it was too expensive, so they switched to daycare instead. That plan backfired—daycare cost even more, came with fewer perks, and left them scrambling. Now, after realizing he messed up, the husband wants grandma back. But she’s not so eager to return.
