Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

What do you think about other moms approaching your sitter to work for them? My sitter works for me part time when I work. The moms are SAHMs. I have one optional day with my sitter a week. I had a work emergency and called her the night before. She was booked, with one of these moms, who wanted prepare for a party that night, and then sitter said she felt bad but both the moms had asked her not to tell me. I had wondered why my optional day was all of a sudden gone. This seems really strange to me.

[ Reply | More ]Very selfish of you. You don't pay sitter on optional day and expect her not to supplement?
