She is busy with other things - life, job, other jobs, etc. Also, I don't completely trust her to really engage or make the best decisions for my kids.

FYI - since the baby is usually asleep while she is here, she is expected to so some light housework to make it worth my money. Usually she does dishes and folds laundry and then studies, goes online, etc. She also drops my older son off at school and picks him up.

1. The sitter we love works full time as a nanny, so we can only get her on the occasional evenings and weekends.
2. Budget issues for us.
3. I still nurse my younger son to sleep and he gets upset if I am not there at bedtime.
4. We like to spend time together as a family.

They are in daycare as well 4 days a week so we only use her when we have a date (once a month maybe) or when we have to both work a weekend which does not happen often.

I can barely afford the money I pay him already. I wish I could give him more. He watches my son at his house with his kids. My son gets fed at meal times and has homework help. I am a very lucky person.
