I’m more on waitingpatiently’s bench than on svelte’s. Svelte, don’t you think the people you’re paying to watch your kids have “chores” to do while the kids are there? Don’t they have any responsiblity to feed them and clean up after them? Why is it that when they were home with you that all they had to do was watch you clean and run errands? Honestly, it sounds to me that you didn’t want to stay home with them so you’re trying to justify it. If having the kids at home makes you or them miserable, then I agree that it’s better they go elsewhere.
