If they want to watch him at their house, they'll usually keep him overnight and put him to bed. If they come to our house, they'll come over early so that they can see him but we'll usually put him to bed before we leave.</p> <p>We have our first non family babysitter this weekend and we'll put him to bed before she comes over. He goes down at 7 so it's not too far of a stretch to make plans for after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/date-night-babysitters#post-1694950 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 09:08:16 +0000 autumnlove 1694950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: hahah, I have a feeling the 30 minutes will be 1 hour but I don't mind since I'm so grateful that she can watch them......can't wait for dinner! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/date-night-babysitters#post-1694945 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 09:06:09 +0000 looch 1694945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bring my son to my parents, he stays there until we go and pick him up, but we have left him overnight one time.</p> <p>I would love it if they would come to my house, but my mom gets super bored and would rather be at her house. Maybe next time I will suggest it so we can actually go out and stay out later than 7:30 pm! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/date-night-babysitters#post-1694940 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 09:03:52 +0000 Ginabean3 1694940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They come to us and usually put LO down. Girlfriend loves her crib and usually goes down easily! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/date-night-babysitters#post-1694931 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 09:02:17 +0000 regberadaisy 1694931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've only done it a few times but they come to us and put LO down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/date-night-babysitters#post-1694929 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 09:01:34 +0000 Smurfette 1694929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually have family and they come to us. Unless my parents are watching her over night. </p> <p>We let the sitters put her down. They come early cause they want to be able to play with R and not just sit there watching tv. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/date-night-babysitters#post-1694925 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 08:59:31 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1694925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before our move, we dropped her off w/ family because we lived so far from everyone and they would keep her overnight. Now that we're closer to family and have 2 kids, we'll probably have people come to our house so we can put the kids to bed before going out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/date-night-babysitters#post-1694908 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 08:54:51 +0000 septca 1694908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Ha ha. That's so nice of you.</p> <p>Our regular babysitter comes at 7:30, so DD is always down, and usually asleep, the whole time she is here. Easier gig ever!</p> <p>If my mom or MIL babysits, they know how to put DD to bed, so sometimes we leave earlier and let them do bedtime. Our families live out of town, so babysitting always happens wherever we are staying. Picking up a past-bedtime DD would be way to difficult. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/date-night-babysitters#post-1694885 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 08:46:33 +0000 autumnlove 1694885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: LO 2 towards MIL.

Do they put the kids to bed or are the LOs asleep when they show up? </p> <p>MIL prefers to watch the LOs at her house but she is coming over tonight. MIL wants LO2 to be asleep because she has TERRIBLE grandma anxiety right now and she wants LO 1 to stay up 30 mins later. I will honor her requests. :P </p>
