Seriously though, have you spoken to your mom about it? Maybe she's afraid to say something to your sister?
I have spoken to my mom about it and she feels at this point how can she say anything? She doesn't know how to word it I guess? She never gets a thank you either! Or an "I appreciate this or that..." ... nothing.

Well I see both sides...on one hand shes doing a lot...but on the other shes paying her mother like anyone else...
My mom watched DS free of charge...Personally I woulndt pay my mom to watch DS, I would just stay home if I didnt have her...I dont make that much...LOL
How are you feeling BTW?
ETA does she just ask her to do it or does she do it on her own?
my mom does things on her own, but then my sister makes it worse...like the laundry piles up and my mom gets stuck doing ALL of it. Or, my mom will do dishes and my sister is behind her putting dirty ones in the sink when the dishwasher is right there!

ETA- THey pay your mom? My mom would not even get a dime, she would do it all for free. Ugh.
yes they pay her b/c they basically asked her to quit her FT job to watch the kids...and they pay her more than her old job did

Re: ? re: a parent watching your children all day
Thanks for all your opinions ladies!! I'm certainly going to stay out of it. I guess I would just feel bad having my mom do all that stuff for me ya know?...regardless of what I would pay her.

Maybe your mom likes doing it?
my mom likes helping but things get out of hand...like, the weekend laundry is left piled on the washer for her or my sister throws things in the sink in the morning when she knows my mom bathes one of them right after...so then my mom will have to wash her dishes first!
That's abusive imo
Sounds like your sister will push your mom until she says something. Give them an inch they want a mile . . .

EXACTLY! But how does my mom tell her not to leave dishes in her own sink? My mom is afraid to say anything

I feel so bad for her (Your mom). That's a really tough position to be in. I think it's best if you stay out of it, unless your mom outrightly asks you to step in or help.
