babysit

we live in a different city than my parents as well as my in-laws. so it has never happened that we get them to help us out by baby sitting. however, when they do visit, i sometimes take the opportunity to take a break and head out alone or with friends. it is not really a baby-sitting scenario, but more of a baby caring time when they look after the kids for the weekend and i get to relax and unwind :) as long as the parents or in-laws are comfortable and don't get exhausted, and as long as the kids are happy and taken care of, i wouldn't mind.
