How often do you have a family member watch your child? Grandparent, aunt, uncle, etc. Anyone except the parents.

Question

My bf and I have an ongoing debate about how often parents lets their family members take care of their children. Reasons behind such as: going to work, helping out, night out etc.

Thanks

Answer

Technically everyday only because its my husbands gma but she lives with us so its not really her watching the kids since we all take turns to let the other rest and get chores done and spend time with the other kid

Answer

My mom babysits for me one or two days a week while I clean houses. Haha. Sometimes she takes her overnight too to give my fiancé and I a chance to catch up on sleep or have a date night.
