Would you let your alcoholic mom watch your kid?

Hello, first time poster here 👋🏼 I’m the eldest daughter (33F) to an admitted alcoholic mom and an alcoholic dad in denial. They enable each other and the situation is really toxic but they do tend to keep it to themselves and have a high functioning life. They both work full time, have hobbies and friends etc. My mom has been working on her sobriety for 8 years with little progress. I don’t think she has made it longer than 2 weeks not drinking in that time despite true effort. Their drinking effects their health and finances to a worrying degree (cancer, credit card debt, etc.) but I try to stay out of it because we have a mostly good relationship and I don’t want to dip into my tendency to try and “save” them. All that to say, we have a good relationship but their drinking does occasionally cause issues.

Anyways, my reason for posting is for advice on childcare. Despite these issues I am close with my parents and we have a good relationship. I just had a baby (5 months old) and my mom has offered to watch her one day per week while I’m at work. My husband is OK with this and we truly do need the help, but I am so conflicted on whether I can trust her. I trust her 90% but that 10% in the back of my mind is telling me to be cautious. In the time that my daughter has been born my mom has been drunk one time around us and we left when I realized. She got the hint and has not done that since. I guess I’m just wondering how others would handle this situation. My mom will be home alone with my daughter but she will not be driving her or taking her outside of the house ever. I have told her there can be absolutely no drinking while with our daughter and she has promised to honor that but we all know how far that goes.

I guess I’m just looking for other perspectives from people who get my situation. Anything you can offer is helpful. Thank you for being here 🫶🏼

Edit: Thank you for all these responses. While some of them were a bit harsh and hard to read, I think I needed a wake up call. It’s true that I was in total denial, giving my mom the benefit of the doubt, about the situation until hearing other people’s experiences. I plan to have a conversation with my mom and ask if she can come to our house to watch our daughter (my husband works from home so he will be here) on the day we need her and we will figure something out for a long term solution. The idea of day care stresses me out but it is the safer and more responsible of the two options. Like you all said, it takes one moment for something to happen and an alcoholic just cannot be trusted. Sadly. This sucks but it is what it is. Maybe telling her that her drinking is the reason we don’t trust her around our daughter will help her get sober but only time will tell. Thank you for sharing your experiences with me.
