[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Happened to me a few years ago. My husband was out of town. I had no one to watch my kids. I hired a babysitter from a company and used her several times beforehand to get to know her and have the kids comfortable with her all for the 1.5 hours of back to school night. Never needed or used her again. Probably cost me 15 hours worth of sitting costs. If I can do that rather than bring my kids it irks me when people who can afford sitters being their kids. OP knew the answer before asking as the school said child care wasn't provided. It wasn't the answer she wanted...[/quote]

You have more money than sense.

Sorry, I wasn't going to leave my kids with a stranger when one kid already had moderate anxiety.  So it was worth it to me to dip his toe in so to speak to make him comfortable, make me comfortable and make it more pleasant.  He still stayed up until I got home which was 1.5 hours after his bedtime apparently worrying where I was.  But thanks for the insult.  [/quote]

Just because I'm curious, how did you manage to reach the elementary school years withOUT having a sitter?[/quote]
