why not just take the kids with you to a family restaurant. I mean you have to fix dinner for the kids anyway. My parents almost never went anyplace with out the 4 of us. Of course back in the day families didn’t eat out alot. There were no Mickey D’s, or Pizza place. As I raised my children, we went out to eat once a week but usually to a fast food place because it was a treat for the kids and got me out of cooking for a night.
Face it, Patterson, you are eating out tonight. No quiet evening at home, after looking at people’s teeth all day.But most of the money you made will go to pay the sitter!!!
Or you can just swap with a friend. If they watch your kids, you’ll watch theirs another time. Cheap and easy!@IndyMan – Boy, are you a sourpuss this morning. Sitters are not going to take up “most of the money” a dentist makes in a day. And why can’t they go out every once in a while? My husband travels a lot and enjoys staying at home when he’s here, but he still wants to go out with his wife (and the kids too, but sometimes just me) to make things special.
Good Morning again Shyygirl27 and lightenup I remember making 25 cents an hour babysitting in the early 1970’s. I was very popular in my neighborhood!!
I was lucky,(believe it or not) when I lived in California my brother and I were taken care of by our Grandparents and even our great grandparents from Spain. We was told the most interesting stories about life in Europe when they were kids. We learned quite a bit and were richer for knowing about them.

True this. Our town is full of families with small kids, fighting over the same sitters. You have to grovel 3 weeks out with good pay and nice kids!

Theres always Calvin’s sitter, Rosalyn. She could use a break— any kid has got to be less of a pain than Calvin.
