Well, unfortunately money is a big part of this situation (and a major part of why it all makes me feel "icky".)

F-in-L needs the extra income from this (or from some other job) in order to make ends meet. DH and I are happy to help out, but we cannot afford to pay him AND a nanny... so I'm going to do my best to make this work.

First step - I went to Sam's a bought a bunch of healthy after school snacks for him to provide to the kids when he picks them up!
