    My parents have offered to come over another day - the thing is they aren't getting any younger and it's a 50-mile round trip, and I know it tires them, much as they love seeing us. I would love to accept their offer but I don't want to take advantage.
    Is it the travelling that tires them? Would they be up to having your children overnight at their house so they could have them 2 full days and that would cut down your nursery costs. If you picked them your kids up at the end of day 2, it would also cut down their travelling time. Of course they may not be upto this, but just thought I'd throw it in as an idea.

    It might be in the future, the only thing with this is that DD2 is nine months and breastfed, still waking in night so not that easy to do right now. Still, a good idea for when she is a little older. Thanks!
