I want to go out with a few friends in a about two weeks time, haven't done in a while and really need to socialise. Ex lives 10 mins away and thought of asking him to babysit? I'll leave around 7pm, so the kids will be in bed anyway and I'll be back around 10pm. I thought of a babysitter, but the thought of having a stranger in my house looking after my dc makes me uncomfortable.
So AIBU to ask ex? The problem is he's got a girlfriend that he lives with, so I'm a bit hesitant. I don't know how she will feel about it, and to be honest never met her. Only seen her outside my house when he dropped the kids off one day, but we've never actually spoken.
Has anyone done this before?
