The sister

My mother has been very ill this week. She was in the hospital from Sun-Wed. My mom is back home and doing better and my dad is settling a bit, but they are not going to be able to watch my nephew when my sis goes to Spain for a week in 10 days.

I have agreed to take him for that week and it is going to be so interesting. We have very different parenting styles. I have always taken to the theory that I am raising adults, not babies. I think that she looks at things differently.

I am a little torn. I don't know if I should take care of him my way or her way. He doesn't sleep through the night. That scares me. I generally have 2-4 kids in my house in the morning. That could be rough.
