re: Would you ask your parents to retire so you could avoid paying childcare?

Probably. Also, there are a lot of potential grandmothers out there that do nothing but beg or basically demand a grandchild. It often starts at the wedding reception.

This was my mom. As soon as my brother and his wife shut down the baby factory she started in on me. She was even asking me if one of my female friends would pop a kid out for me.

Oh and to answer the question i wouldn't ask my mom to quit her job.... but i would pay her. My brother did that (mom never took the money). It was still cheaper than daycare.
