Okay so I talked to steve last night about
all thats been going on and for once he
actually really listened. We both know he
can't cut down on hours at the hospital
for various reasons, but he said maybe we
should get a nanny. Now i've never wanted
to get a nanny. I want to be there to
experience every little thing about my
children, I just feel that if someone else
is there to look after them I may miss
something. Steve understands this and he
compromised and said maybe if we only had
one for a couple days a week, just so I
could have enough time to rest and do
things for me. I admit that the idea is
sounding more and more appealing. I just
feel guilty about leaving my children with
a stranger, especially the younger ones
and the baby, even if it is just for a
little while. What do you girls think?

Me too, a big ".H.E.L.L. Y.E.S". You
will be a better mom with more rest and
some time alone. Go for it girl.

It's just finding someone I could trust
enough to leave my children with. You
read all these horror stories about
babysitters and nannies beating and
mistreating children. I know that doesn't
happen all the time but when it comes to
my kids i'm very protective, as every
mother is i'm sure. I just couldn't live
with myself if something like that every
happened.

Well, I was a nanny for 6 years, and I was
awesome if I do say so myself. .
I recommend you get names from your church
or a local highschool. The lady I
nannied for found me through one of my
highschool teachers.

Thanks for the tip. One of steve's
collegues has a daughter thats interested
in nannying too and he really wants us to
meet with her and see how she interacts
with the children. Hopefully things work
out with her. I've met her and I think
shes a very sweet girl so I know i'd feel
comfortable having her around. But if for
some reason it doesn't all work out i'll
definitely look into what you suggested.
