Guest guest Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 I had a call yesterday from my step-sister's husband, asking (for the first time) if we could babysit his two-year-old for about 4 hours on Saturday. I told him I'd check with my husband and teenage daughter to see what the family plans were and that I'd get back to him. I had very mixed feelings, especially when my husband said he had hoped to do something that would take him away on Sat. a.m. I knew my teenager would want to sleep late. Could I handle a busy 2-year-old by myself, especially close to my MTX day? My husband said he could stay for half of the time, so I went ahead and said yes to the request. I did explain some of my reservations to my (step) brother- in-law, including telling him about the MTX. I found that part hard to do, but it's my reality... I hope I made the right decision. Four hours with a toddler can seem like a long time because of the constant watching required, especially in a home that's no longer child-proofed or equipped with playthings! I want to help him out, and I think the little girl is a sweetheart; hopefully all will go well. (If it doesn't go well, I'll say no next time!) Life is change...
