The commenter added that the woman should have discussed this arrangement with her mother during the pregnancy since she knew she would need to return to work.
More people shared the same sentiments and thought the Reddior was rude for saying her mother did nothing besides watching TV and cooking.
Netizens emphasized that the older woman was retired and had the right to refuse her offer because child care was a demanding job.
Commenters added that the older woman was correct to point out that she had raised her children.
This meant she could offer occasional babysitting out of the kindness of the heart. So, the whole story made the Redditor sound entitled to the readers.
