I'm expecting my 1st in Aug and my dad has gladly volunteered to take care of my baby after my maternity leave. The plan is to bring my baby to their place before I go to work and pick baby up after. My step-mom however, is not very happy about it and insists that I hire a helper for them at their house, as I will be able to qualify for subsidied levy. (But i'm not comfortable with having a helper around a 4 mth old) What should I do? Infant care? Really consider hiring a helper? What would you do if you're in my shoes?

Actually i would prefer hiring a helper to help up my mom with caring for my baby. If not it will be too taxing on my parents.

I would enrol into ifc instead of unhappiness arises within the family. awkwardness in future when meet up...

Why don't you try finding a nanny for your bb instead?

you can consider a nanny, and pick LO up after work
