Pay the sitter. Just because YOU FEEL like she should be able to handle it, doesn’t mean she can. Be glad she asked for help rather than getting distracted with one child and an accident happens with another.
I am still trying to figure out why this was even a question. While you are at it, pack some snacks and a few activities.

I watch my grandkids all the time WITH NO PAY. Grandparents shouldn’t be paid to watch kids. I would never want money to watch MY GRAND KIDS. That’s stupid af! If your mother can watch them all weekend then your MIL surely could watch them, there should be no difference.
Is she sick, disabled, frail or what?
As a mother herself she can’t handle kids??? But it sounds like she shouldn’t be watching them at all if she can’t handle her own damn grand kids…
You. Your kids. You pay

Definitely you without question. Why would you even think otherwise. I mean really? If I was your MIL I wouldn’t watch them at all and make you pay someone the whole time. By the way… your kids weren’t invited???

You. Your MIL is doing you a favor so you can attend something personal. It’s not for you to decide what she can handle or not.
Or you could just hire a full time sitter for the evening.

Your MIL could have said no all together…
Why would you wonder who pays for your childcare?
See you went to your MIL for free childcare in the first place- am I right? 
You should pay
The older you get the harder it is to look after kids
It’s very tiring
How old is she
Does she have health issues
She must need help if she is asking for it so I really believe you should pay
She is probably too proud to say she needs the help
It’s not an easy thing to admit help is needed.

I would not go to a wedding where my child was not welcome. But you should pay the sitter as well as at least offering to pay your MIL
You were invited to ur cousin wedding and ur kids weren’t??? Wow…and u actually are goin the wedding…sorry to say but whrrr my kids arent invited im not either…plus u want someone else to pay for helpin look after them…CALL UR MOTHER
I hope this is a joke. They are your kids!!! You should pay your mother in law and the helper for babysitting your kids. And just so you know, kids can be a handful. Maybe you should just stay home and keep your own kids.
Is this real? Someone is helping u & telling u cant do it all being honest and u think she should pay for someone to help her with her grandkids? She coulda said im not capable and ud have to pay a sitter whole time…sooo

Seriously? You need advice for this? I know that sounds judgey, but she’s doing you the favor of watching your kids for free! You should be respectful enough to just do what she asks. Sorry babe, but I have to pay
You should. They’re your kids not hers she’s raised hers! And it’s hard to be a caregiver for kids when older.

Definitely you. And don’t compare your mom and mom in law. 2 totally different people with different experiences and pasts.
Who had kids? That’s who pays.
These are your kids.
It’s your responsibility.
I have babysat many of times for my grandkids. If anything you should be giving her money. For snacks, an outing or maybe a movie. Even if she does not accept it should be offeded.
Wanting her to pay tsk, tsk.
If I were her i wouldn’t even take care of them for you.
I use to have to pay my mama to watch her grand. I think you might want to try humble pie.
What?? I don’t have grandkids yet but my bf does. I’m only happy to babysit. Should I be asked to take them for an entire weekend, my answer would be no. I’ll keep them in the evening and overnight, but the day is mine. I still have a life and things to do. Why should I pay out of my pocket because I’m trying to help someone? You should be grateful she’s keeping them for even a little while! Wow.
It’s yours. Seriously I’m surprised you even asked
She is already helping you out. Stop being ungrateful and get her the damn help she is asking for. And pay for it, too.
Is this seriously a question?..THEY’RE YOUR KIDS…I cant even cope anymore with the stupidity

My Grandkids wear me out!!! I don’t watch them overnight much, but if I had to do it very often; then I would need help. Get over it. You can always take them with you and pay someone to watch them while you go to the wedding only. How fun would that be. Pay for the damn babysitter and make everyone happy
You answered your own question, you pay and not all grandparents are made the same or have good health. Instead of shaming or comparing, accept each one with the strengths and flaws and plan accordingly in the future. Enjoy the break and have fun. If they miss a bath they won’t die, some things need to be let go when not at home or with you. It’s grandma’s! 
Wow you need to ask that?
You of course .

You. Believe it or not, as we get older it isn’t as easy as it once was to take care of children. That’s why women at a certain age can’t have any more. Why didn’t you leave them at home with your mother for the weekend for free?

If your MIL offered to have her grandchildren she wouldn’t need assistance, if she did I would have just paid for the babysitter, grandma was not up for the job of taking care of the grandchildren.
