[quote=Anonymous]Some people (including me) really don't have anyone they can ask for this kind of heavy lift. So posters trying to shame OP because they don't have a family friend, neighbor or family member is not helpful and so like DCUM.

4 nights is a long time to ask someone to keep your multiple kids. It just is.

I have helped people out (neighbors, friends of my kids, and teammates of my kids) keeping their kids for multiple nights so the parents could go on a vacation, so parents could go on work trips, and even once so a father could take his girlfriend to NYC and propose. I definitely have played it forward. But I have never been able to find anyone able and willing to keep my kids more than 1 night. Other people are just busy. My own extended family is not nice so I can't call in the grandparents.

I know other people in similar situations and they have hired other people's nannies, elementary school teachers and other people's college age kids to watch their children. OP, do you know anyone who can refer you to someone like that?[/quote]
