[quote=Anonymous]I have a 4 year old and have never paid a non-family babysitter. But, he is full time daycare during the day. Someone asked about hair appointments and dr appointments. I make them during the work day when I can step out from the office, or else evening or weekends with DH is available to watch. We trade off a lot - when one of us has a social event or work engagement the other is on. On the weekends, we each do our own thing like gym or grocery shopping, but then we spend time all together as well. We have some local family to cover for weddings, holiday parties, etc., but we just don't do "date nights". It's never bothered me, honestly, I'm happy to chill at home and make dinner together rather than pay someone so I can go out. However, I would NEVER dream of asking my mom to cancel a flight to watch my kids! I would 100% hire a babysitter if the need arose - but it just hasn't been a need yet.[/quote]
