A new mother needed help taking care of her newborn when she returned to work.
She asked her 64-year-old mother to babysit her child, but when her mother asked to be compensated, the daughter refused.
A female Redditor opened up about a dilemma she was facing with her mother. The woman explained that she had just given birth to her child and needed help caring for her newborn as she was returning to work. The first person she believed would be perfect for the job was her mother, a 64-year-old woman who had been a homemaker since 1992.
However, her mother was not keen on a full-time babysitting job. The grandmother reasoned that she was too old and had already raised her children. She also told her daughter that she should have considered staying home if she wanted to have a baby.
