I know it's none of my business but I feel this strange urge to tell this poor woman that she should hire someone to wrangle the baby, not her toddler once the baby is born. I feel so bad for this little girl....first mom brings home a new baby then she hires someone to bathe, feed and put the 3 yo to bed...talk about feeling left out. http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/kid/732496701.html [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I wouldn't... there could be circumstances we don't know about such as bedrest... Although that's probably not the case, I wouldn't chance it, b/c she'll feel awful. [ Reply | More ]

Our PT sitter took over a lot of the care and feeding of my toddler when my baby was born--worked out for everyone. Not sure why you have such a problem with it. [ Reply | More ]

yes, but only 4 hours 2 or 3 times a week. The woman isn't exactly abandoning her firstborn. [ Reply | More ]

True, and it is fair to need someone while you are nursing, etc. A baby needs to have bonding time too. [ Reply | More ]

I think you're being really hard on her and making entirely too much out of this. It's not like she's moving her older child out of the house. Do you have some kind of personal beef with this woman? [ Reply | More ]
