IN MY OPINION PODCAST · Jan 16, 2026 · 56m

In this episode we are joined by the founders of the ACLT Charity and in Part 1 we dive into a tough parenting dilemma: When is it appropriate to pay your parents to look after your kids?

One listener's mother has demanded payment for babysitting their twin daughters, sparking a conflict with his girlfriend.

Join us as we explore the complexities of family dynamics, expectations, and the price of childcare within a Caribbean family. Should grandparents expect payment, or is it a natural part of family life?

Tune in to hear our thoughts and see how this dilemma unfolds.
