who should take care of baby

I will be giving birth in another 5 months and my sister-in-law just found out she is pregnant too. Thus, my mother-in-law will be the one taking care of the babies. However, my MIL has stated her preference to stay with SIL instead of staying in my house. Which option is better in your opinion? 1. Get my relative, aunt who stays nearby to take care of my baby so baby can enjoy one-to-one attention. 2. Appoint a maid and share with SIL, to assist my MIL to take care of my baby and hers. My MIL has helped me to take care of my elder kid and so far I am comfortable with her.

If you are comfortable with you sharing your maid with your SIL, and also if you bond well with your MIL then it is not a bad idea. But hope it won't cause a complex situation. MIL, SIL, two infants, you... Also, if you get your aunt or a relative at home to assist you then also you have to see that your MIL and SIL treats your aunt nicely. Since, she will have to stay with you for a longer period, she should feel comfortable with you. Also if someone will not treat your aunt or relative nicely, you will feel bad and will have undue stress. The first option though seem little complex, like one maid being shared by two women and also to help your SIL, but I think this still seem manageable. If maid is get scolded by your MIL or SIL, it won't hurt you as much if the same is met out to your relative.
