MIL or infant care?

Right from the beginning, my MIL said that she don’t want to take care of my baby. Reason is that she was tired taking care of my SIL’s kid and she don’t want to lose her freedom/wants to go for holidays. She even told me and my hubby to have only 1 kid cos it’s a lot of hard work taking care of a baby/kid. Now that my maternity leave is ending and I have already looked for an infant care centre and put a deposit, my MIL suddenly said that she wants to take care of my baby until he turns 18 months then put in childcare. Should I take up her offer or still stick to infant care? TBH I am worried that my baby will fall sick often in infant care. He is also very active. But I am worried that my MIL will change her mind again. She is also taking care of my SIL’s kid (He falls sick often too.) Confused mummy here. What should I do?

In your case, i think Infant care would be better. On days when u need MIL to help, e.g. baby falls sick, school closure, then activate MIL to help. While it is a generous offer for her to want to help, it is very very tiring for the old folks to take care of newborn throughout the day on a regular basis. Plus she sounds like a very active and social person, she might end up resenting that she is cooped up caring for baby all day. Grandparents have done their parenting duty to our generation already, anything more is a bonus.
