Babysitting exchange
So... from yesterday's forum, it sounds like a babysitting exchange is a great idea.
A "points" system seems to be the best way to do it.
How best should we deal with differing family sizes? Watching a single small Speckperson is a very different thing from, say, watching three Johnston-wuggies. Should it be done by straight "baby-hours," where watching one kid for three hours is equivalent to watching three for one hour? Or maybe it's two points an hour for the first kid, and an additional point/hour for each kid thereafter? I'm not sure what's the best way to deal with this, but one way or another, we need to be upfront about it.
What did your mom's babysitting group do, Ashley?
