[quote=Anonymous]I have two healthy able-bodied family members living within 15 minutes of our house, and I have asked one of them to babysit twice, the other, not at all. They know my kids well and spend lots of time with them, but they wouldn't know what to do with my kids if I wasn't there. It isn't their job. Now, if I was in the hospital and our regular babysitters were not available, would I ask one of them to help me? You bet. And if my brother had concert tickets, and, again, I'm in the hospital for a non-elective procedure, would I ask him to cancel his plans, again, yes. (And I would reimburse him for the concert tickets and buy him a really nice bottle of something for his trouble). But your situation sounds like a routine request when you are expected to drop everything. [/quote]
