    For me babysitting was a privlidge & not a right. You & your hubby will survive just fine without a babysitter.

    Your in-laws enjoy seeing their other grandchild play softball & I can understand that. They have finished raising children. It is their choice when & who to babysit. IMHO
    Insanity is hereditary. You get it from your kids.

    Wow I read this whole thread and..I dont know what to say.

    I can see both sides of the fence here. If you have sex and have a baby YES it is your responsibility to take care of that baby BUT that doesnt mean you dont want time to yourself once in awhile and thats understandable.

    I think if its important to you to have that time then you need to let your baby grow up and stay with someone else. You say hes a mommas boy and thats fine most little boys are I think but hes gonna have to learn to leave you at some point you cant keep him on your hip forever as badly as you want to. If you only gone a few hours then its not that big of a deal to pay someone.

    But I do understand you being upset to some degree.

    The only thing I can say here is that I agree 100% with Mini on this. I can see both sides, but I also want to say like someone else said earlier:

    "No Jealousy
    No Kids
    No Problems" ;-)

    That's not to say that I don't want at least 1 with John, but you know... I'm not in a hurry to get pregnant any time soon. I've never been the kind that had to be a mommy...either way is fine with me.

    Why not change YOUR night to go out to a monday or tuesday...let them watch the kids while the two of you go out to a nice dinner.

    wow, I did'nt think this thread would continue on.....

    anyway, I forget who, but no, we are not military, he was gone on job out of state for that long.
    My DH works night shift , he works night from 8 at night till 8 in the morning.

    I do love my children, with all my heart and everything withen me, just like all the fellow mothers here do also..... I am here for them day and night, and we do everything together as a family.
    Me and the MIL had a talk today, and I asked if it bothered her to still continue to watch my son every other weekend. She said, no, that her and my FIL enjoyed the time together, like I mentioned before we are only gone about 4-5 hours, then come back, she doesn't watch him all night, even though he does stay all night because we come back to stay the night there also. It's just always been that way I guess since they have a spare bedroom and were not dragging him out in the middle of the night. And then in the morning, we leave.
    It didn't mean anything that I referred to my son as "the boy", infact that term is used here often, people call and say, "how are the girls doing", or, "how's the boy doing". There's really no issue there, I do know my sons name.
    Anyway, we had a nice time, just went out to dinner, played a little bowling.
    My MIL and FIL do enjoy eachother and do things, she is blessed she never has to cook LOL, he takes her out to dinner practicaly every night of the week, and then when they don't have softball, they go out on Friday nights, and then the go out some Saturdays during the day for a movie or something. They are always on the move. My FIL retires in June and I'm happy for him, he will get to sit and rest and tinker around the house...
    Any way, just thought I'd pop in here and say that I am not the evil woman some may think I am. I do enjoy my family, everyday and love and take care of them.

    A parent isn't a babysitter, it's his responsibility as a parent to watch his child.

    I think that maybe some are upset because they don't have a babysitter and can't get out~~ flame away.
