...is pretty much nonexistent. Between, work and school, i have virtually no babysitters. I have a babysitter for when I'm at school (who is only $3/hr. Even so it's still killing any money I have) and then my parents watch my son while I'm at work. However, they want me to works so much that on nights I DO have off, they are so burnt out and can't watch him. I feel like if I want to have any social life I'll have to make plans MONTHS ahead of time.
Luckily my grandmother is in town from IL for the next couple of days seeing as it is my birthday here soon. My parents actually agreed to watch my son and my grandmother and I got to go out to dinner and just hangout for a bit without any issues bringing a baby with us could arise. I mean, I absolutely ADORE going out with my little man. Showing him off is quite possibly my favorite hobby!
However, it is always difficult, no matter how angelic the child, to bring a kiddo out with you. First problem is just getting out the door, my one girl friend knows that if we are all going out she's going to get here and I'll have just started finally getting all the stuff we need together. Luckily she's very understanding. Just getting together everything in the diaper bag can be exhausting, because you always seem to forget everything and need to run around like a chicken with it's head cut off. Then theres if the kid wants to ride int e car, if not its hell. Then usually my son is good while were out and about because he's too busy flirting to freak out, but even so, you see some peoples kids just screaming bloody murder. I am very blessed and I know it.
Regardless of any of those things or how well they go I'm always tuckered out by the time we get home. So it always seems like such a big deal to take my little man out when it should just be fun!
