Comments on: You wanna date? http://mothergoosemouse.com/2007/06/01/you-wanna-date/ A first-grader destined for a career as a lawyer, a pre-schooler whose screams can shatter glass, a bouncing baby boy who evaded an IUD, a man who can drink his weight in Natty Light, and a woman who has long since given up caring about the condition of her kitchen floor.

Oh my. I would NEVER go out. How can you afford it? Around here it is only $5 (that's for one child). And that poor woman who has to pay $14! $14!?!? Why would these kids ever grow up and get a real job if they can make that much babysitting? $10 an hour. Oh my. I would NEVER go out. How can you afford it?

Tell Kyle congrats on the new job! I am such a wuss about calling babysitters–I don’t know why I am intimidated by 16-year-old girls.

Apparently, we just cannot get enough time with our little monsters or apparently we're lazy about making plans.

Our babysitter charges $14! Highway robbery, if you ask me. I hate to say it, but I think you’re getting off easy at $10/hour. Our babysitter charges $14! Highway robbery, if you ask me.

It would be so nice to go out for once for dinner AND a movie because we weren't worrying about the sitter's meter running. Oh, hell, it would be nice to just go out for once.

MIL makes me nuts, but she loves to babysit, and the kid loves them. Good luck on the new job! $10 an hour is why I’m very grateful that my in-laws live 10 minutes away.
