When you can't?

[acupofjoe]

Their father does. Pretty much the only time I need to do something away from them is when their dad is home and he keeps an eye on them so I can do whatever I need or want to do.

[Mod-*Kiliki*]

yeah dh...every once in a blue moon i can get my mom to watch them.....

[Buggymom]

My hubby usually does. Very very very occasionally, my mom will come over and watch her.

[lapoema]

I hardly ever leave the kids with DH, that just occurred to me... I should. I guess I always drag them along when I go out.

My mom is the only other babysitter we use (albeit rarely). Also, they stay in the church nursery when we have things to do at church.

[Mod-krislati]

I don't live anywhere near family. So when we go to visit my mom will babysit, she loves it and encourages to have a night out when we visit. But dh watches them when I need to do something without them, which is rare that I do something with out them.

[LDRW]

My husband, my SIL, MIL, or their Godmother.

Leslie

[Mod-Lady Valkyrie]

his dad, my mum or my DP. Very occasionally a neighbour who is also an old friend.

[stresswife]

very rarely is do I go anywhere without her, if DH and I get a date night then his grandma and dad watch her.

[LindsayMom09]

Yup my DF watches him. It's very rare that I go out without him, mainly because I just don't like being away from him for too long. On the VERY rare occasion, my in-laws will watch him when we have a date night or something.

We get the odd date when our parents visit and every once in awhile, I'll go someplace on the weekend while DH stays home.

[TheOnlyPink]

my husband of course, but if we want to do something together or i have something to do while he is at work, my parents or my husbands parents. I also leave jake with my sister, she is 15. I wont leave harry with her unless i'm in the house or i am literally popping out for 10 mins.

My kids are almost always with me or my DH. Sometimes my BFF will watch them so we can have an "evening out".

My mom rarely watches the kids, but she said she will "watch the kids 1 time a month for free" if DH and I want to go out. If we want her to watch the kids more than once a month, we have to pay her.

So yea, we don't get a sitter often. DD is 13 so we're hoping that in a year or two we'll feel she is mature enough to watch her younger siblings on occassion.

[Lady Lotus]

Since DH is on disability and home...he does.

However, if by some odd coincidence we have to be somewhere together(RARE) then we have a buddy of DH's that can, usually.

[FallinWoman]

My mom watches the boys a lot. DSD did too, until she left for college a week ago. We also have a sitter we have used a few times. We had to find someone so that DH, my mom and I could all go to DSD graduation!

[MidgeMadge]

I won't really say DH, because termed like "watch" makes me feel like a babysitter.... which DH is not

My mom will watch her lots, though. Or dad.

[kiendra]

Hubby
but n ow my oldest is old enough to watch the younger ones for a while so we get to go out together sometimes

[kolbysmom]

DH does. We don't have any others to choose from

[joonzgurl]

so far just my MIL. (and DH of course) but that has only happened a few times so far.
