DS has been looked after by my mum for 8 hrs while I went to work while DH was away overseas (well planned in advance so she could be off from work 2 and 1/2 hrs away from me)
And tomorrow will be 2nd time a friend of mine has watched DS while I go to my work Christmas night out as its same night as DH work night out.
I felt so guilty asking and now am trying to think of what to give her as a thank you (figured will spend more on her Christmas present than normally would)
Yes i do. Based on things people have said like "when i was looking after your DD she did the WORST pooey nappy... I was sooo glad to see you coming up the drive that day!" And "when you were in labour and I was looking after your older 2 kids and they had gastro... O...M...G it was the worst night of my life" (said infront of several other friends). But these were from friends who either didn't have kids themselves at the time or still don't. I think your situation is different Leash From what you have said your SIL will not be as challenged by the reality of caring for children. Relax darl
I feel guilty asking my SIL to babsit my DD. Can't work out why seeing as I love babysitting her boys. I am working on not feeling guilty but it is hard
I always feel bad, even though I know most of the time it's a pleasure for the grandparents and SIL.
CQueen, for what's it worth I feel bad when i ask my kid's dad to 'babysit' too- and we're a couple It get people teeling me how great he is when he takes care of them- hellloooo? he's their father, isn't that his job?
