[quote=Anonymous]The replies here are already very kind and helpful. Generally people are trying their best during a trial. If your best, or even typical behavior, is that you sit on the couch letting the child watching the TV for 3 hours, wrapping yourself up in a blanket but providing nothing for the child, that’s really not a good sign. If you ask if you’ve done something wrong, you should be prepared for the answer to be yes and consider advice about what to do differently.

It is going to be very difficult to find someone who pays $27/hour and is okay with you not doing much beyond sitting in the same room, making sure the child remains safe. I might be okay with this level of care for an occasional date night from a high school sitter, or in an emergency where my nanny calls out sick and someone is filling in on 30 minutes notice, but not everyday when I am paying a premium for 1:1 care. In any semi-decent daycare or school, they would not get anywhere near 3 hours of TV a day either.[/quote]
