This Saturday my husband and I where going to a concert with a Danish band called "Nephew", but we needed a babysitter. Most times call Franks parents, and they are happy to take Jonas, but a few weeks ago a friend of ours said that if we ever needed a babysitter his 14 year old daugther had started babysitting. We figured that this was a good opportunity to try her, since we could put Jonas to bed before leaving, so there wouldn't really be much for her to do besides be there. She came over almost 45 minutters before we left, so she played with Jonas a bit before bedtime. A responsible mum would day this was good in case he woke up, he would know she was here etc.
As a responsible mum, and left my cell phone number with her... Well at least I tried being a responsible mum, because I also left my phone in the charger.... Okay before you get too upset by this I had also left Franks number, and her dad lives close by, so it wasn't like she couldn't get hold of anyone. Though I doubt we would have heart the phone at the concert, but it didn't matter, because it all went well, and she hadn't tried calling us.
And as the responsible mum I am, I did drive her home, so she didn't have to get out by herself at midnight.
Oh and the concert was amazing:)
This so reminds me of my baby-sitting days! I remember always falling asleep once the kids went to bed...
