[blparent] Babysitting others kids

[Star Gazer]

				Did you miss the part about the baby? The
woman also has a 2 month old. Shelby won't be getting chores done with the
baby around. 
The mom will provide diapers and food, but I can guarantee you she won't
provide enough. She'll say "Oh, I didn't think he'd eat *that* much, are you
sure you aren't overfeeding?" or "Wow, he only poops once a day with me, I
didn't expect he'd poop four times today!" 
 A surcharge won't work because this woman doesn't have the money to pay. 

Let me be very blunt here. The woman has a 3-year-old and a 2 month old.
This means that eleven months ago she was having sex with somebody. She had
the resources to go do that, which means she had the resources for someone
to take care of her son while she met a guy and slept with him. I am
assuming this isn't a one-night stand, but even if I'm wrong, she had
childcare for that time slot. 
My point, this woman has resources for what matters to her. Her kids don't,
there is a reason she is using the church network to "find someone" to watch
her kids. Liscensed daycares (and I include women doing childcare in their
homes) know to tell her no. Learn from them.

Our daycare cost are $126 dollars for 2 children for 5 days a week. That is
taking them there, to the daycare. I am assuming this woman is bring them to
your home. One of the children is the same age as your son, so instant
playmate. If you did this, that would be four days out of your week to get
things done around your home. Errands can be done after they leave or the
other 3 days of the week. $100 dollars a week adds up to $5200 dollars a
year. If you are not working out side of the home right now, this is a good
way to bring in a little extra money and to give your son the needed social
skills that are sometimes difficult for preschoolers to learn. The mother
will provide diapers and baby items. And you can always add a stipulation of
a surcharge if she is late in picking them up. Talk it over with your
husband but, it is ultimately up to you. However, it doesn't sound like this
woman will come back to you but it is a good option. Definitely don't let
your blindness hold you back.
