[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We never had a paid babysitter. My in laws live close and I stayed at home until my kids were school. It wasn’t an issue of trust as much as [b]there wasn’t much need - or much disposable income.[/b] The grandparents watched the kids for the odd school activity or other such thing and we generally did family rather than couple things until the kids were old enough to stay alone. Now the kids are in high school/college and we get out a lot.[/quote] This, I get. If you have free family options, of course, use them. It's "I don't trust anyone but family" people who I find deranged, and likely to screw up their kids. [/quote] Well if you aren't going to be choosy about who you leave your completely vulnerable and non verbal children with what will you be choosy about? [/quote]
