baby sitting

irmgard by irmgard Walking(November 2006) (rank 500+)

when my children grew up I never gave them into care to other people,just because of the danger that kids might get abused.

I had a long time where i was not able to take a break to have some time to my self,but the safety of my children

was more important then what i needed.

I realize that one needs a bit of time out but to many times today you see mums giving there babies or young children to be minded by someone else,how do they know if there babies are safe.

so i like to say take your children with you where ever you it might such save there live one day.

if you work yes i realize also it is hard to do ,but if you have a mum who can look after your children that would be good,i did not have anybody here as i came from oversees before i had my children.

at that time in 1980 is was already hard to keep your children safe,but i believe today it is even more difficult.when you think alone on children who surf the internet and who watches them makes your hair stand up.

i do not like to frighten any body but it is reality so please be careful with your children there are so precious and deserve our protection and love constantly.

I work from home because I cannot put my son into someone elses care who I know nothing about. Just because they do not have a record does not mean that they will not abuse your child.

my boys love having time out to just go play at nanny's house or if theya re really lucky to sleep over. I have to say that i like the peace and quiet too. It gives me time to not only relax but get so much done around the house.

My mum is a real life saver i don't know what i would do without her, she loves having the boys come ans stay. I oftern get a call saying Do you want Zac or Jacob to stay at our house tonight.

I hear ya!  I wish my parents would offer that.  Mum says it is because they live too far away.  Who knows.  E often asks if she can go there on her own, maybe one day we will see it happen. 

As of today we she has been out of nursery 3.5 months and although we are still enjoying each other a lot she was meant to be back in nursery by now.  I am sure she will adjust just fine when she does go, but 24/7 with a three year old - or anyone(!) - can be tiring and rough.  I have loved almost every minute of it.  But I know I will adore it when I have an hour to myself each day!

Peace
EF.x
