[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are in HS. We have never had a non-family member babysit them. It has been usually just DH and I. My mom was another person I have trusted with my kids.

I have left my kids home, when they were 6 or 7, with visiting relatives who were staying with us for several days, to make a quick dash to the grocery store or to a restaurant to pick up takeout.

I just don't think that others need to babysit or take care of my kids.  I have happily outsourced a lot of things, but not the care of my children. YMMV[/quote]

Have your kids ever gone to a sleep-away camp, or for a sleepover/short trip with a friends's family?[/quote]

Not that pp, but my own kids camped with Cub Scouts and my dh was one of the parent volunteers who also camped.  They've had sleepovers at friends' houses but, no, never any short trips with friends/family unless dh or I (usually both of us) were there, too.

Dh and I had our kids on the older side so our parents, while they are very involved and important people in our children's lives and love to spend time with them, have never had to take on any heavy duty child care for us.  Part of the perk of being a grandparent is being able to hand the kids back to the parents, lol.[/quote]
