SaHM's How often does somebody other than your Dh watch the baby-

My Sil gets upset because she doesnt watch the baby often and I take care of her baby in the day while she works but I really dont go out much without the baby- Since Im in the house alot during the week watching the 2 of them I like to take the baby out with me. I dont want her to feel bad but I just dont have many opportuniies out alone nor do I really have the desire to- She asks me all the time and Im starting to feel like obligated almost for her to babysit!

I take Julia everywhere with me, the only one who watches her when I run out for some alone time is my DH. If the 2 of us go out to dinner my parents will watch her for us, but we usually just take her out to dinner with us.

Once in a while my mom does, but nobody else. My ILs and my dad live out of state and my brother and BIL don't feel comfortable with it.

My mom's sister and one of her cousins have offered, but we haven't taken them up on it yet.

Almost never. My mom has watched her twice now for 2 hours tops.

My ILs will watch Nate a couple of hours a week. They are retired and love when he's over there. While he's there I'll run errands, do some housework or laundry, even just relax.

Well, I'm mostly a SAHM. I work p/t for a few hours a week. DH watches him one day that I work and my MIL watches him the other day. Usually my mother will take him for a few hours every other week so I can get some stuff done.

not that often. My sister has watched them if we have gone out to dinner.

Once in a while.. I will bring Ryan to my parents house so I can go shopping with out lugging him everywhere but for the most part I take him everywhere I need to go.

Kids come everywhere with me or with DH.
My parents live a few minutes away and just LOVE to come watch them when we need them too but other then my parents, they wont be left with anyone else.

My MIL lives with us and if DH has to go to one of his clients in Jersey I am stuck without a car. So I will run out with her car and she stays with Alex.
