Ok on the babysitter side of things I can't do it sadly too far away from you chick but I'm just wondering. How do you find a babysitter you trust to look after your baby when you go for nights out etc? I'm talking in general here DH and I were last night discussing things were booked up to do and want to do etc and suddenly I realised come August it's going to be us plus baby. I'd not leave him/her with any of my step-children, two of them are just bloody idiots and the other two although very sweet and loving would just have no clue, especially if babe woke up crying or needed a nappy change. We don't live near family or friends so that's not an option....it really only has dawned on me that things like the theatre etc are a no go area with tiny baby in tow....how do you choose a babysitter and give such a HUGE position of trust to someone like that??
