I've got a neighbor with 2 kids that I might be able to arrange something like that with. Her husband travels a lot though. My other option is to train my best friend's 14 yr-old daughter to babysit :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-wish-you-had-a-childcare-buddy#post-18258 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 00:30:59 +0000 808love 18258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I tried proposing that babysitting co-op with some of my friends when baby was a few months old but they weren't takers. :( They don't live very nearby and they don't trust us. Nah...I think they are already set in their ways. I would totally do this though. Come move to our neighborhood, Bees! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-wish-you-had-a-childcare-buddy#post-18256 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 00:27:52 +0000 Rosie Girl 18256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm spoiled. Both DH's and my parents live really close and are always willing and wanting to take DS :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-wish-you-had-a-childcare-buddy#post-18253 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 00:22:32 +0000 mrbee 18253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish that I lived next door to a couple with a kid exactly the same age as Charlie. Then, once a week (and after our kids had gone to bed), one couple would go out to dinner while the other couple stayed home and split up between the two houses in case one of the babies woke up.</p> <p>How amazing would that be. Free childcare, and actual date nights with Mrs. Bee without having to fork over $20 an hour for babysitting! A-ma-zing!</p> <p>Ever wish you had a childcare buddy? </p>
