NC, I don't know the specifics of this but if it is good for you and your boys then I'd agree to it. At one point you thought it was right? And if it would help you with the daycare sitch, that would be frosting. Your boys are at the age where I think they would rather be in a group situation than with the MIL don't you think? My d's afterschool has art, games, crafts, playground time, etc. Have you ever brought that up with the PC? But, seriously, I think she is thinking of how it will benefit her, but sounds like it might even be better for you?
