I have difficulty finding trustworthy people to look after my son overnight whilst my husband and I go out. So we probably only go out 4 times a year-together. The problem is without a doubt my mother, who can only stomach children around her for a few hours at a time and dosen't want to be bothered with children, thankyou very much. I'm now pregnant with number two and I can hear my mother screaming as she imagines the mess another baby would make in her house on visits. My perfect, selfless mother-in -law is the perfect babysitter, but I would hate to impose two children on her over night. Am I asking for too much or should I take any offer of a babysitter?
