She def views it too little too late. I'm not in a situation where I'm being used as a babysitter so that doesn't concern me.
She has said to me several times that she thinks my new relationship with the kids is great. And of course then throws in phrases like "I hope it lasts" or "I wish it was this way the while time".
Either way: it's for my kids and myself. She obviously has taken notice but still feels the need to compliment it and then follow it up with a snide remark. But that's her issue. Not mine.
