Thoughts on Babysitters


Every 4 weeks I get 25 minutes to myself (usually I don't even have to take the baby with me). I go to the beauty salon and get my eyebrows waxed. yahoo! Today I went and came back before Craig had to be at work, ok... then Kaid looks at me and says "mom, your gonna babysit us?!" Uhhhhhhh No, this is my parental responsibility, but really how is today 'babysitting' any different from the 364 other days in the year that I am with you? Why, in your mind am I a babysitter today? Do you expect more out of me - more playing, more conversation and less work - less laundry, less dishes done? Just curious why am I a babysitter today instead of a mom?
