[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Try to do date nights at home after the kids are in bed. We don't do babysitters either so we only get real dates maybe once a year when family is in town.

[b]Too many crazies, pedos, and satan worshippers aroun[/b]d. They present themselves very well so nope, the babysitter thing won't change for me. Maybe your wife feels the same, or maybe she has her own reasons.[/quote]

Sorry, but you sound like one of the crazies.[/quote]

If that makes you feel better about leaving your kids with someone you know very little about then ok. Do what works for you and I will do the same.[/quote]

I will, thanks.  But to assume that most people are "pedos" and satan worshippers (?) shows a level of paranoia that is not normal.[/quote]

Is that what I said? [b]Or did I say that I do not leave my children with strangers and give the reason why[/b]. I don't care what is "normal" or not. There are a lot of things that are "normal" but still unacceptable to me. "Normal" is not what I base my decisions on, and if I am not comfortable leaving my non talking children with someone who I know nothing about, then that is just what it is. It is not going to change because it is "normal" to leave infants with strangers.[/quote]

Yes, and the reason you said is that there are too many crazies, pedos, and satan worshippers.  And that is paranoid and an unhealthy view of the world.  No one is advising you leave your children with strangers you just met off the street.  At what point do people stop being "strangers?"  Do you really see the 16-year old girl who lives next door, who you've known since she was a child, whose parents you know and trust, as a potential child molester?  Or the nanny who has worked for  your friend full-time for 4 years?  Are these people "strangers" in your book?  Because those are the types of people that most of us use as sitters.[/quote]
