i have a question about child care. we have 3 kids, ages soon to be 11, 9, 6. we have split custody, we each have them 2 nights a week and every other weekend.
for the past several weeks she has been asking me to watch the kids on her nights here and there, so that she can work. ( her hours change week to week).
if i say no, then the kids will be home alone at her place for up to 2 hours, and i miss out on spending time with them.
if i say yes, which i have been, then i get to see them. but im not sure that this is the right choice.
should i start telling her to find someone else? im starting to feel used as a baby sitter. but at the same time i love seeing them any chance i can get. and i dont want them to be home alone for extended periods of time due to their ages.
