It's weird but good I guess that they feel safe in other scenarios. <br />I'm glad you got to go!Niccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07823534500672899883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273175002472753405.post-25256491648614790082009-09-25T05:27:17.060-07:002009-09-25T05:27:17.060-07:00Ditto to Emma Jo.

The trick is to pick them up before they find the new caregiver's psychological buttons.<br /><br />My problem is that I'm headed out of town today, and my kids will be with their dad. No new politeness required there. I'm a little worried how that will work out. I hope he survives the one night okay. At least his mom will be on call to help if needed!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01583286432601536145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273175002472753405.post-53295286790489000552009-09-24T17:25:57.781-07:002009-09-24T17:25:57.781-07:00I think I should get chocolate and a chili's c...I think I should get chocolate and a chili's card just for being willing to watch your kids.....right.....at least the chocolate?

And don't you know that kids are always pleasant for the first 48 hours with someone else until the new/cool/fun wears off? I am always stumped when babysitters say the same thing, "they were great!". I want to know who's children they were actually watching. Your kids really did miss you, honestly. And truffles and an excuse to eat out are the surest way to my heart...besides, there just might be a need for your babysitting services yet...although you did already pay me in food.Emma Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388909151075041809noreply@blogger.com
