I know I will be working out of town a lot this up coming busy season and I have a 5 month ATM. My mom watches her I pay my mom. The firm I work for reimburses for extended care during cont.

This might be on the extreme end but depending on your state she could look into getting a license as an in home day care so then she’d qualify for you to get reimbursed (https://childcareta.acf.hhs.gov/licensing). Some states have more significant requirements so this may only make sense for a state with fewer requirements.
Would the reimbursement cover if you had a nanny or just day care? If it includes nannies too that may be another option to see how to get her to fall into that bucket to qualify for you to be reimbursed.

Busy season but only when you use daycare extended care not when a family member watches your kids. Does that seem fair? Watching a baby is a lot of work regardless of whether or not they are family. I know I will have to reimburse my mom more for the longer hours Bc it’s just the right thing to do but it’s going to hit me pretty hard financially. Any advice is appreciated!

It might be challenging this close to busy season, but for coming years, it might be worth talking about switching engagements. The Firm has been very accommodating of limiting my out of town travel after I had a child. Another option that we give parents is the flexibility to go home, then work after their kid’s bedtime. So if they can accommodate you leaving early and catching up later that could help reduce costs too (but this will definitely cut into your sleep).

It’s great that you have your mom, and you really can’t beat the love of family. But if you are looking to reduce cost and all else fails, perhaps a nanny for the extended care hours? Or even hiring your mom a neighborhood babysitter as a second set of hands for a few hours (since they’ll be reimbursed) to lighten her load?

If your mom wants to claim the income as an independent owner, then you can get reimbursed

Just need to vent. MIL came over for dinner tonight. Our youngest was fussing so she put her up. She wouldn't stop crying so I went up there...well no wonder, you have her light on! So I turn it off and play it off as a let's see if this will help. She calmed down and all was well. Then, she started fussing again so MIL went back up...and turned the light on. Didn't take her out of the crib or anything, just turned the light on and patted her back. Turn the damn light off and keep it off.

It’s a “boys weekend” (kids w/dad). Their grandad is also in town, since Wed. Dad has called to ask to have the boys in the evenings (i have W &Th, always). I have said “ok, but only if you don’t say anything negative about the polish.” So… they haven’t seen them. This hurts.
