I try and remember that my kids smell weakness like blood in the water. My daughters can seem like the sweetest, most innocent children on earth while convincing you its a swell idea to bust out all the sugar in the house and then to take a drive to McDonalds.
I've been blessed with family nearby me that will normally babysit, but I have no problem paying ten or 12 an hour if I've met a babysitter that can "match wits" with my kids.
That being said, any TFP'ers from BC here? I'm moving down there in a few months and I've been told that babysitters now are covered by minimum wage and work laws?
*edit* Just thought I'd throw it out as a sidenote, how much do you folks pay on New Years Eve??? My wife and I wanted to go out, but the cheapest reasonable sitter we could find was $125 a kid, from 9 PM till 1AM. Yegads
