I cut out so much lamination and graded so many papers when I was a kid! Life of a teacher's kid! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-took-care-of-you-when-you-were-young#post-599642 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 10:26:06 +0000 illumina 599642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My Mum was a SAHM until my Sister and I were both at school, then she worked part time so was able to pick us up from school. I can probably count on one hand the number of times we had a babysitter or other family member (besides my Dad) look after us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-took-care-of-you-when-you-were-young#post-599640 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 10:25:56 +0000 mediagirl 599640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My Mom. She stayed home with us until I went to pre-school, worked part time at the school so she could be there when we got home and then went full time when we were both in school so she could still be home when we got home. She is awesome. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-took-care-of-you-when-you-were-young#post-599635 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 10:25:00 +0000 DillonLion 599635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom on and off (she was ill) and other family members.

She came every monday-friday until I was about 13. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-took-care-of-you-when-you-were-young#post-599322 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 09:36:00 +0000 Bookish 599322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom! She was a stay at home mom with my sisters and me, and only went back to work recently when my parents divorced.

We had a nanny for a while, then I started going to preschool and a different woman took care of us. In kindergarten, my next-door neighbor (who was 12) walked me to school each day. By 1st grade my mom was done with school and she walked us to school. In second grade I was deemed old enough to walk by myself (but with the neighbor kids). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-took-care-of-you-when-you-were-young#post-599294 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 09:32:34 +0000 PurplePumps 599294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom was/is a SAHM, but we spent a lot of time with my grandma too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-took-care-of-you-when-you-were-young#post-599239 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 09:21:12 +0000 Alivoo01 599239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom was a SAHM, so her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-took-care-of-you-when-you-were-young#post-599238 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 09:20:58 +0000 bushelandapeck 599238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom stayed home until I went to kindergarten.

Even when we were older, she worked at a high school so she kept similar hours. She was one of those, "heaven forbid anybody else watch my child" kind of people. We never really had babysitters, either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-took-care-of-you-when-you-were-young#post-599172 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 09:08:09 +0000 MrsTiz 599172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom was a SAHM mom until I went to school.

I went to preschool part time when I was 3. She tried to take me when I was 2 but I cried :) Then when I went to kindergarten she worked part time for my dad so she could be there when I got home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-took-care-of-you-when-you-were-young#post-599110 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 08:52:46 +0000 MsLipGloss 599110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom, until she went back to work part-time (we were in middle school by then). After that, it was just my older brother and I alone at the house . . . we were both good kids, and even though he wasn't quite 2 years older, my brother took really good care of me. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-took-care-of-you-when-you-were-young#post-599108 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 08:52:34 +0000 Dandelion 599108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom was a sahm until I was about 5 then I went to a sitters house after school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-took-care-of-you-when-you-were-young#post-599105 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 08:50:39 +0000 thismustbetheplace 599105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Until I started babysitting at age 12, my sisters and I were watched by our "Nana" (no relation) who lived a few apartments down from us. She had a daughter 5 or 6 years older than me who was 'cooler than sliced bread' to my little pre-teen self. I found out a couple of years ago that she died in childbirth from complications from Crohn's. Devastating. :'( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-took-care-of-you-when-you-were-young#post-590593 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 08:45:00 +0000 chopsuey 590593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My grandma watched me for most of the day until my mom came home at 3pm. </p> <p>When I was 4ish, I went to preschool and stayed with a friend and her mom until my mom picked me up after work. </p> <p>Once I was in school, I'd walk home with my sister and we stayed home alone. Sisters are 3 and 6 years older than me. </p>
