So I just commented on why I don't watch other peoples kids..I'm too antisocial.
And then I thought a bit more about it...if someone was complaining to me about money I would have lots of answers. Ranging from:
'Tough, get over it you need the money' to ....
'Well then watch kids for shorter times.'
It is very easy to shut an idea down at first glance. But if I keep looking I might find a way to make it work.
Then try it differently...

For starters, I have many friends that are, shall we say, lax on rules with their children. Their kids do not respect property, theirs or other peoples. And I could never tolerate that. I think there would be a lot of time out if I were looking after some of my friends kids And on people looking after my own kids: I've had the opportunity to witness friends of mine, looking after other friends kids. They do certain things and then complain to me why the children never behave for them. *sigh*

DH, however, is less than happy. We went from a retired people mostly (we were the young family), to now we are the older couple and young families are moving in. Ha Ha. I love hearing the squeals of happy children playing. He doesn't. He likes the quiet.
