My husband and I don’t get to go out without the boys at all now that we moved back to Kansas. There is noone that we can get to watch them! Their sister and brother in law that used to watch them are still in Missouri and their oldest brother and sister in law are in South East Kansas. Not that the brother and his wife watched them for us much anyway:( I miss getting to go out and just have some time with him by ourselves!!:(
It is nice if having friends and family around to help. When my children were small, my parents helped to look after them. It is my turn now for my grandsons and daughter.
