[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm someone who doesn't want to get a sitter and also am lacking in the friend department.  To me, it seems like the ones who get sitters are putting their own social lives ahead of being parents.  I put my kids first so yes, it's hard to socialize if you always want to have your kids around.  Even at social events with parents and kids, the parents seem to ignore the kids and just talk to each other and I'm the lone mom who actually is more concerned with supervising kids than socializing.  It's hard to find similar minded people to be friends with, especially if it's considered strange to not get a sitter.[/quote]

I'm going out Thursday night at 630 PM with a few other couples. Our babysitter will put the kids to bed at their usual 830PM and I will miss 2hrs of their lives. You have serious emotional problems if missing 2hrs of your kids lives makes you feel like a bad parent.

I can see why you have no friends. You are neurotic. Who would want to hang out with you? What a bore to listen to you drone on about your magical snowflakes.[/quote]

Not PP but it represents about 7% Of available time with their kids assuming working parents home at 6, bed at 8:30 and awake 14 hrs on weekend.

I assume you work part time or stay at home, BC a working parent going out at 6:30 would effectively not see their kid at all that day, just to meet some friends for drinks. [/quote]

Enjoy your lonely life. [/quote]
