[quote=Anonymous]I did! I agree with PPs who don’t like the idea of making the older kid babysit. But just because one kid is older doesn’t mean she’s babysitting. There was one time when our oldest did babysit but it’s only because she begged for it because she wanted to earn money. But every time DH and I did it, the kids just watched YouTube or played Minecraft the whole time. So there wasn’t really any babysitting going on. A few times we got FaceTimes about arguments over who used what screen but usually there wasn’t actually a lot of interaction between the kids. Also we only did it in the middle of the day or afternoon, and we are good friends with our neighbors and the kids could go to them in the case of a big emergency. All that said, we didn’t do it often. Maybe four times. It’s not ideal, just an okay solution when you need to get out and a babysitter doesn’t work out. [/quote]
