[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to judge them and have eaten my humble pie and am now one of them.  I have a 10mo and a 2.5yo and dh was gone for the weekend. I decided to hired a mothers helper for the weekend and it was amazing (honestly better than dh is home but that’s a different problem)! She stayed with the baby to nap while I took toddler out in am, she cleaned up from lunch while I put kids down from nap and ran errands. She was another set of hands so we could go to zoo and let the toddler run like a mad man while I sat with the baby for his bottle. She cleaned up from the day while I read books.  I could have done the weekend myself and have done it and am glad that I have so that built up the skills just like we all do when we have to do something new kid wise.  But this was so much earlier and more relaxing, instead of an exhausting and boring weekend, it was fun, calm, and I got a little down time before going back into the work week.

I still somewhat am judging myself for not just handling my own kids but I’m a work in progress on not judging over all and will continue working on my humble pie. [/quote]

You’re providing your helper an opportunity to learn. That’s a good thing.[/quote]
