Last night my wife and I attended my step-brother's second wedding. Our regular baby-sitter (my wife's brother) was having a BBQ of his own that night and could not watch the kids.
So, the wife decided that the girl who we may potentially "nanny share" with another family was asked to do so in his stead. She could only stay until 10.00pm, which was great because we were able to leave the reception at a reasonable time without appearing rude.
SO, she shows up at about 5.30 so we could leave at 6.00pm.
She is of Romanian descent and frankly could have stepped out of a Penthouse magazine. You guys would FREAK if you saw her.
The only problem was the fact that our baby girl did NOT like this girl at all. She wailed so much that the girl had to call on my brother in law to leave his BBQ and try and calm her down. I think it kind of ruined his night and so we will have to make amends with him somehow.
In order to try and get this girl more aquainted with Casey my wife is going to invite this girl over for a few hours a few days a week to see if the baby can warm up to her. Unsurprising the two boys have NO problem with this girl. My youngest boy was a bit upset when we were leaving but had stopped crying even by the time I had to go back into the house to retrieve the invitation and parking pass to the reception which I had left on the dining room table. My older boy already has a wee "crush" on her.
Interesting times.
There is no way I would ever fool around on my wife, so that isn't an issue at all. It will just be fun to watch all the tongue flapping and efforts by certain friends of mine to drop by a whole lot more often if we do end up hiring her.
