So you wouldn't *rather* have the sitter watch them at your pad? - musubi Jun 16, 12:54 17
- i babysit all the time. i do it at their house. it's fine. it's just interesting to me that the parents don't tend to think about how, when i have to - kare Jun 16, 12:58 16
  - I don't think you're giving (most) parents enough credit for recognizing how much a babysitter does. - musubi Jun 16, 13:03 1
    - maybe not. *again,* i recognize i probably don't fully understand, because i've never been a parent. -- nm - kare Jun 16, 13:07
  - Depending on the circumstances I think most parents don't think it's a much greater inconvenience for you. - pmb Jun 16, 13:02
  - The big question: Are you getting paid or doing them a favor. If it's a favor then you might suggest trying it once at your place - TWuG Jun 16, 13:00 12
    - oh, and no, of course i'm not getting paid -- nm - kare Jun 16, 13:08 1
      - (it's usually way fun and great quality time with the kiddos and it's totally worth it.) -- nm - kare Jun 16, 13:08
    - i've suggested before. "but it's so much easier..." - kare Jun 16, 13:01 9
      - Also, it is hard to know what Logan is going to want each night. I could pack-up 90% of his stuff and still not have the one thing he wants. -- nm - Spawn Jun 16, 13:05 7
        
        after the fiftieth "I WANT MY BOBA FETT!", kare may end up agreeing :) -- nm - con_carne Jun 16, 13:12
        
        How old is Logan now? - TWuG Jun 16, 13:07 1
        
        2.5 -- nm - Spawn Jun 16, 13:21
        
        see, and this is the kind of thing i would not understand because i am not a parent. i am not trying to bash all you parents here! - kare Jun 16, 13:06 3
        
        Oh, I know. It is just that I have always known this. I mean, I had been around little kids and it is not too difficult to figure out how they think. - Spawn Jun 16, 13:24 1
        
        mmkay. -- nm - kare Jun 16, 13:32
        
        No I didn't think you were. Nor was I trying to bash you. Just trying to help you understand a possible differnent POV. - musubi Jun 16, 13:14
      - Oh, with some parents it isn't even about the kid, they just don't want the hassle of - TWuG Jun 16, 13:04
