[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SAHM here,  [b]Hey, if a mom wants to drop her kid off at my house sure I'll collect some cash![/b] Only one graduate degree, sorry ;-)

This is how my sister resolved her situation when at 12 weeks she had to return to the classroom.  The (well-educated) SAHM next door offered to watch the baby for a reasonable amount.  My sister jumped at the offer and the tension /  worry  in my sister visibly decreased. [/quote]

Even if it means you can't do the things you normally do with your own kid after school?

Doctors appointments:  Your spouse will have to take time off and take your kid to those, because you need to stay home and watch this other kid
After school lessons or activities:  Not before 6:30 pm because you need to stay home and watch this other kid
Your spouse has a business trip to a fun location, and your parents are willing to come watch your kids so you can go with your spouse:  Nope.   You need to stay home and watch this other kid.

Are you really willing to go along with all that, for an extra $25/day (or whatever paltry sum the parent is offering?)[/quote]
