I wussed out ....after trying a neighborhood teenage sitter once or twice....I decided it was grandma or nothing. So it pretty much became nothing. (an occasional weekend at grandma's for must do stuff)
Luckily, I had waited till I was 29 to have my first child, and had gotten "going out" pretty well out of my system. Having fun at home became the focus.
It was just too weird paying someone you didn't know to come into your home while you weren't there and be in charge of your children and have access to all your stuff
