Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : My parents are decent people. We live on their property in a different house and pay rent. They made housing possible for us even tho it's not easy on them or us but it does help alot.

That being said, my parents have some issues: My mother is an alcoholic. While she has been working hard to stay sober, I'm not capable of trusting her entirely. She's been drinking since I was a child so I can't help but feel she'll never actually beat it. My father, on the otherhand, is rather old and has serious memory issues. Then when my mother lapses and drinks, there is a 50/50 chance my father can't tell or denies it happened. 

With them being retired, they have flat out offered to nanny our child so I can return to work full-time. Had any of the other family made this offer, I'd have seriously considered it. With my parents tho, I don't know if I'm willing to risk my child's health even if they essentially offer a solution to all our concerns. Denying this means serious financial ramifications or changes in employment to get by.

When this came up in a discussion with my aunt, my mother flat out said that she expected to be the care provider while I worked. I didn't know how to handle it, having been completely thrown off guard, and kind of laughed it off awkwardly and talked about my moral belief of raising my child myself (also 100% true). My mother took offense to me not confirming her statement, but hasn't said anything directly since.

WIBTA for denying this generous offer because of the off chance something happens? Or WIBTA for accepting and taking that chance?
