My babysitter deserted me to be a do-gooder in South Dakota for the summer. My children drove her to public service.
Me: How’s SD?
Her: its different alright, but im really glad im here-there are so many old people in this town though! it makes me miss the boys lol
Me: That’s a tough one. I’ve been there. Resist the urge to hook up with someone twice your age. It won’t end well. lol
Her: And that’s why you are my favorite person to babysit for. Thanks for the advice
Me: No, I’m your favorite person babysit for because I rarely leave you with awake children for longer than an hour.
Her: well that is a plus. i cant lie

this made me laugh. We leave our sitters with 3 sleeping children and $20 to order dinner.
We have babysitters we adore– and they know how desperate parents of young children are for a night out. They have all the power in this relationship!

I always feel bad when a babysitter has to be with my awake kids for more than 3 hours. I feel like that should involve some sort of hazard pay.
