A sitter is watching ds tomorrow for a couple hours. She works at his daycare and I like her and its her first time watching him at our house. She just asked me if she could bring her 5 month old niece. Not sure if I should say yes and just be like whatever because I don't want to put her out or no because I'm paying her to watch my child and I don't know this baby at all. What would you do?

Oh, that's tough. Realistic, I would probably say "sure" but actually be upset. haha
-
I would tell her that since it's the first time she's watching LO at your house, you'd rather she come alone. You can totally blame it on the baby. Just say you're not sure how he'll do with a new person being home with him and another child might just make it more difficult...

@mrsbookworm: I agree with everything you said!
-
I think if her niece was a little older I would be OK with it {kind of like a playmate for your DS} but at 5 months she might require so much attention that it might detract from your son's care.
-
I actually don't think I'd mind. Especially since she works at a daycare and therefore has experience with multiple children. But if you're uncomfortable, then say no.
-
Thanks girls! The poor baby got sick so I won't even have to worry about it!
-
I wouldn't be comfortable with her bringing another baby that I don't know at all.
