Sitter just quit- I'm freaking out!

jcc64 wrote: Just looking for some moral suppport, I suppose! My sitter is a VERY opinionated, dominating type, who has very set ideas about things, and it seems pretty irrelevant to her that I am her employer. Today she wigged out on me b/c i don't want her driving all over the place with the baby. She said, "Why are you so worried, do you think I'm gonna steal her?" Well, that thought hadn't crossed my mind, but now that you mention it...
Anyway, it's been coming for a long time. I held on this long b/c she does have a special bond with the baby, but I just can't live with her judgement anymore.
Anyway, just needed to vent- thanks!

Kaitlin'smom replied: thats tough. I got lucky in finding mine, she is good about asking if its okay to run errand with her or let her hubby watch her for an hour or so. (he is great with kids, just not so much on changing the diper part, so she always makes sure she is ok before she leaves, and will call him to remind him to check her). I hope you can find a new one soon!

supermom replied: Yep, that's tough finding one you can live with, let alone really like, good luck babysitter hunting.....and maybe since she was so opinionated, this is for the best....

Mommieto2Girls replied: I believe everything happens for a reason, so don't worry , everything will work out in the end. Good luck finding a new sitter.

~CrazieMama~ replied: This may have been a good thing. You just might find someone much better now. Think positive about it. It will all work out in the end.

CantWait replied: Big hugs to ya. I know all to well how hard it is to find a good babysitter. I've had way to many, and have yet to find anyone who is capable. Better luck to ya.

jcc64 replied: Hi All,
Thanks for all your warm wishes and support. Thankfully, it's summer, and my mom (who lives 100 miles away), is a teacher and has been able to come up and help me out until I can find someone new. But, it's amazing how muddy the boundaries become when someone is caring for your child and you need to work. As you have all said, in the end it's for the best, but in the meantime, wish me luck....
