However, these expenses should be approved ahead of time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-bother-you-4#post-1196500 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 08:00:41 +0000 Smurfette 1196500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say that you want her around more kids her own age. And that with her going all these places, it is costing you too much money. I think people always understand the money issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-bother-you-4#post-1196471 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 07:26:46 +0000 swurlygurl 1196471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no - it is so hard to mix friends and money... :/ We have a good friend doing our childcare too.</p> <p>I would just say it was costing you too much, so you found cheaper childcare with more socialization. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-bother-you-4#post-1196436 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 06:54:44 +0000 Dandelion 1196436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would find someone else, too. She probably won't be hurt by it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-bother-you-4#post-1196426 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 06:48:44 +0000 swedishfish 1196426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would find a different sitter. You're already paying her to watch your daughter....you shouldn't have to shell out more money! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-bother-you-4#post-1196423 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 06:43:31 +0000 Shutterbug 1196423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StbHisMrs: could you tell your friend you want to put M in daycare for the socialization with more kids her own age? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-bother-you-4#post-1196308 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 00:38:41 +0000 StbHisMrs 1196308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a friend watch our 2 year old, I knew this was a mistake using a friend :(<br /> She's great with her, but her daughter will always get the "best attention".<br /> Lately I've gotten a text in the morning saying I need M's carseat today, we're going to x,y, and z today. So when it's a lunch date or something like that not only do I feel instrudive I also feel the need to give her money to pay for M's lunch or tickets or ... We're paying her all of our extra cash to watch M, now it's costing us more! I slso don't like the idea of her taking her out while she's trying to watch her overactive daughter in public, M is FAST!</p> <p>So my husband wants to find a new sitter, I don't want to ruin our friendship. What would you do? </p>
