| If there is food in the house, a playstation, and internet / cable is working. I think they pretty much manage themselves. Just lock the liquor cabinet as you don't want them to have too much fun. |
| I think this topic seems to relate to most of the DesirousParty members and party guests. As I would say that probably more than 50% have at least one child, and they are managing one if not two careers in their household. So it gives you a feeling of waking up in the morning, doing a marathon of tasks during the day and before you know it your head is hitting the pillow to prepare to do it all over again. Which is one of the main reasons I created the DP site. The site, parties and trips are meant to be avenues for you to escape the normal daily tasks. I know for me its a little stress relief to see a nice comment left, a validation (vouch) or just to get a email from someone checking in to say hi. Plus its really nice to be able to make a event, see old and new friends and just put the outside world away for a few hours. Now on the kiddo issue. Here in the forums about a month or so ago I posted a email from a lady who was offering her babysitting services. However she lives on the s.e. side. I know her and she is very trust worthy. As for me. I have two neighbors that I have gotten to know really well and trust. So they help me with my babysitting and it also helps that I pay them fairly well. That way whenever the need is there they always say yes. I am sure that others have some opinions as we know that DP members dont hold back their voices when they are motivated. lol |
| We seem to have the same problem. We tend to have more time to go out during the week and grandparents are available. It's hard to make the weekend parties or even meet and greats. |
| HAHAHA, Thanks for asking the same question that we haven't thought to ask. We are so busy with work and kids, and family (kiddo's grandparents live on the opposite side of town), that it is hard to get to the parties to get to know people more. There are plenty that have left us comments or sent us mail that we would love to get together with, it is just hard to juggle everything. Unfortunately we don't have the answer you're looking for, but will be watching VERY closely for tips! Ryan and Jessie |
