Babysitting is a universal problem - I have a big family and they all can't wait to get their hands on my baby, but still it's hard to get help when I need it. Do you know any other moms who might like to do a co-op? Maybe Flirty Woman up the road would like to take care of them ( ;-P) It may even get her to avoid your husband...
How old are the kids? Anybody big enough to hold a broom? Personally I can't wait until my child is old enough to sort socks. No guarantees they will help, but maybe it's worth a shot.
My daughter is 3 and her favorite thing is putting away her clothes and her brother's clothes, she just sits them on the dresser but it helps , and she will take their laundry hamper and put the dirty clothes in it.. so thats a help she like to try to sweep the floor but usually unless its in her room she knocks stuff over and makes a bigger mess...
Flirty lady not a chance she likes kids, even mine which seem to drive other people NUTZ... I have a fairly big family too what I don't get is they all said OHHH Any time you need a sitter just call... and when i do call ohhh no i can't i have something to do .... then if my mom can watch them i have to drive right by that person's house and they aren't doing anything they are sitting in their house or on their deck looking like a lump. I mean if you don't want to watch them just say don't make up some excuse just say I can't do it tonite..
The co-oping idea have tried that didn't work, i would end up watching other peoples kids and they never wanted to watch mine, So i just drag them everywheres with me.. not much other choice really..
The only way My husband will go grocery shopping is if i give him a list and it has less than 20 items on it.. lol usually he just lets me do it and follows me around like a lost puppy
