allowance to MIL

my MIL would like to take care of my LO after my 4 months maternity leave and she is asking for 1000 per month. What's your take ?

Thank you all for your reply. She's a retiree. I just didn't think that looking after your own grandchild will require 1k per month. My husband is already paying the house expenses that's why she is asking it from me.

Is your parents still around? If yes, do you have enough left to give them some money after giving your MIL $1K? Are you and hubby combine income really stable(no debt etc)? Is she caring for your child 24/7? Is the $1K she asking for includes milk & diaper expenses?
