Oh NO She Didn't...She Did! She Stole My Babysitter!

Fight To The Death For A Saturday Night Out

Some quick food for thought....
There are always lines that should never be crossed: Never sleep with your friend's ex boyfriend ( all the single ladies please) ,  don't eat off the ground after the 3 second rule, ( unless your really needed that Swedish fish)  and don't steal your mommy friend's Saturday night babysitter.  "Borrowing" a babysitter is like borrowing your friend's new cover up from Scoop  : Borrow it once,  MAYBE have the balls to borrow and wear it twice, but there's noooooo chance in hell you should claim that cover up as your own.

I don't care if the person you borrow from has a stash of sitters ( or pareos), you don't make it your "regular".  At least not without a conversation about it over some champage. Why?  Well, finding a reliable babysitter on the weekends is priceless, hard to come by and frankly requires you to put a ring on it ASAP.

Your *ss is grass, she's mine  bi*tch!

During one of my playground sessions last week, I ran into a fellow mommy lets call her "Supermom". Supermom was in a tizzy about a friend of hers, lets call her friend  "Quietmom". Super mom "lends" quiet mom her sitter for a night,  as quiet mom is in a pinch.  When super mom calls the sitter a week later, quiet mom has booked the sitter for the NEXT MONTH.  WAIT REWIND! Supermom lent her the sitter for one occasion then all of the sudden quiet mom claims the sitter like she would claim a lottery ticket, like lightning speed!!!  Yes, these sitters sound like cattle, but well, they kinda are so I guess the lesson learned would be to brand those baby mamas as quickly as you can as your own. Guarantee great goodies in your fridge and throw in a movie or two on demand cause it could mean the difference of a night out at the new Blue Ribbon or a night sitting on your couch sittting in between a baby monitor and some play dough that was smushed into your couch earlier that day.  Friends don't let friends steal sitters, period.
