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?

If it were me, to keep the peace, I would enrol my child in infant care. If I insist on leaving my baby with my dad, then I'd risk getting my step-mom upset and that would cause problems between them in the long run. I don't want them arguing over my baby. At least at infant care, I know that I am leaving my child in the care of professionals and there are other people there, as opposed to leaving baby alone at home with just a helper. Thus, even though it's not my first choice, I'd go for infant care.
