I wish I had the option of free child care for date nights. My parents are an hour away, so just a little too far. However, I am glad our daily daycare is not a free family member. My mom is wonderful with my children, but I don't think she would follow all my instructions.
I can't imagine a family member taking care of LO all the time. I am really happy with our daycare decision.
My UO: high heels are pretty terrible. I own nothing with a heel over 1.5 inch max (more like a kitten heel). Anything higher hurts, and it's not worth it to me. I want to be able to stand/walk/etc. as much as my H! Honestly I find the whole thing with super duper "I can barely walk" shoes sort of bizarre. It reminds me of females binding their feet.
And it's not good for your knees/back! Any women who says she finds them comfortable is full of bull shit.
This is why most of my heels are wedged. It distributes weight more evenly.

My sister watches DS for us. I pay her. And I am so very thankful that she does it. I want to cry thinking about the day that she won't be able to watch our future children.
Also, I am not a fan of heels. I can't walk in them.

My sister watches my girls and it works for us. I pay her, so she's making a little money. She's looking for a job now, so soon this arrangement will end. It's time and I think daycare will be good for them at this age. I just hope to find a good one.
puffandstuff and vk, I should mention that I can't imagine any of MY family members taking care of LO full time. I think it can be awesome for other people! Our dynamic just isn't ... right... for that situation.
This is my situation. Full time day care will be a very welcomed change.

I've got a ligament issue with the arch in my foot due to over pronation. Completely flat shoes cause this issue to flare up. A less than 3" heel helps a lot as it keeps the arch in place and from falling. This injury is just as bad for the knees/back, if not worse.

Hmmm. My parents watch my son Tues, Weds, and Thurs and my daughter Tues and Thurs afternoons. They rest of the time they are in preschool and/ or daycare. They charge us nothing and refuse to take anything. We cannot afford the $2600/ month it would cost us to have them both in full time daycare. So, I love free child care.
Also, kitten heels are where it is at. Still get a cute lift, super comfortable and they are sassy.
What?!?! I love Dunkin coffee. McDonald's has pretty good coffee too. Starbucks coffee is disgusting....unless I'm getting fancy espresso drink full of sugar.
Casey's pizza is overrated...but most of you probably have never had it unless you've been here.
I love brat's. LOVE.
I totally know what you're talking about but in 22 years living in towns with a caseys I never once heard anyone say the pizza was good. I have never had it myself. Convenience store food is a hard pass for me. Possible a UO.

Apparently it's ranked in top 5 pizzas (locally, I'm guessing) or sumshit. I think their taco pizza is probably better than most, but I don't think it deserves all the local hype it's been receiving.
I think DH said Ashton turned Mila into a Casey's pizza lover.
In regards to my BIL talking about his daughters- if you keep saying "she never listens, they don't listen" shouldn't that be a hint to yourself that you should change something with your parenting?

I feel like they just recently (in the past 3 years or so) really started playing up their pizza. I started seeing ads, commercials, and I'm pretty sure they deliver now too (at least around here). I've only had their taco pizza and wasn't impressed. H likes their cheeseburger pizza. HORK

We got a bag as a Christmas present and I can't wait until it's gone. So weak, so chemically, so bleh. I'd prefer folgers. I never go to a real Dunkin because they can never put the right amount of cream in my coffee. I just want to do it myself!

Their pizza is so popular now that they have standalone pizza only locations that don't even sell gas. WHAT IS THAT.
The most popular Chinese around here also comes from a grocery store chain so we are generally kind of a hopeless group I guess.
