[quote=Anonymous]My family watches my kid regularly (once a month or so). I also have some good friends in the area and some cousins too. There is some give and take, but not a lot since they don't need much right now. We dog-sit/house-sit on occasion, or stop by the grocery store to pick up missing ingredients if we're going over for dinner, etc. With my friends, I'll bring a bottle of wine or pay for dinner the next time we go out as a thank you. I'm the only one with a kid and my parents are young (in their early 50s). As we all get older and my friends and younger siblings start having kids, I expect there to be a lot more giving on my end. We're also the kind of family/friends that buy each other random presents, just because we saw something that we thought someone would enjoy. We enjoy helping each other out and know that over the long term, it'll be roughly even. And they would be horrified if I offered to pay them for babysitting. [/quote]
