Just to get it off my chest, I would rather have the title actually have a "not equal to" symbol, and it is driving me crazy that I don't know how to put that in!
That aside, on to this post!
A while back I was making plans with a friend of mine; we were going to go "hang" (seeing as how we have already established that high school never ends). Her comment was, "Well, let me check with *name* because he will already have been baby sitting the kids the night before." You know, I am all about being considerate of your spouse in regards to the kid duty, but come on! Watching your own children is not babysitting! It is called being a dad and a good husband. Do you pay him when he is done? I don't think so! Be thoughtful of his need for free time as well, but don't degrade his being a dad...I'm just sayin'!

I'm just sayin! :0P
Again I say, AMEN! That has bugged me for a long time. And when people have to negotiate and beg to leave the house! Rediculous. I must say, it was something that we have worked on, and Blaine is awesome right now.
Um yes yes yes!! I love when women bring there kids to enrichment even though their husbands are home because they don´t want to ask them to babysit!!!! Or their husbands have to "study" and then they are playing bball at the church later!!
Just saying!!
Of course we are babysitters. I was babysitting yesterday. When I found Ethan, he had gotten an egg from the fridge, smashed it on his head, rolled around in it on the couch, and drew all over himself with a permanent marker. What mom would let her son do that? Only a babysitter.
Point well spoken Jim.
