Child Care

My daughter in law has gone back to work. Since my son works evenings, they have child care pretty much covered. For the hour a day between their work shifts, I will go to their house and babysit. The only problem would be if my son needs to work an occasional day shift. We asked around for anyone that knows a person to be an "on call" babysitter. Someone who could look after the baby for one day every few weeks or months. One of my friends said that she knew of a nice stay at home mom. My daughter in law called the woman and set up a meeting. She made it for when the woman's children were home as she wanted to also interview "the surroundings". As soon as my son and daughter in law walked in to the woman's house, the children, ages 3 and 6 came rushing towards the baby screaming, "I want him, I want him". They proceeded to start pulling at his legs and face and grabbing him. My son whisked him out of their range and instantaneously decided that there was no way his son would ever be left alone here. Back to the drawing board.
