if she wants to feel useful, can't she babysit your youngest while you are both at work? or does she have other commitments during the day
the extra money you save on daycare might help you overlook her being inconsistent. |

i'd love to let her...
but her health has gotten poor over the past year and i'm afraid if something happens to her then my little one wouldn't know what to do. my husband feels the same way. she actually used to watch my 12 year old as she grew up. |

*shrugs* i just feel like i'm being taken over i guess You're only taken over if you allow it. You're not a victim unless you choose to be. It might be difficult to have the conversation that needs to be had but it's not impossible. And, yes, feelings might get hurt but it's better to clear the air than for everyone to suffer in silence. |

Why dont u sit down with her and decide wat she CAN do to help you, make a rota if it helps. Have ur husband there too, that way u all know who is doing wat, and hopefully she will be happy to be needed.

Sounds like she is trying to be useful despite her poor health.She wants to know she is a part of the family and not being a burden by living with you.Like others said,having a talk with her and splitting the chores would be a great idea.
