"I used to think the pain of a breakup was reserved for boyfriends only. News flash: Everything (that&amp;#x27;s everything) changes when you become a mom (single or married!). Suddenly there&amp;#x27;s a new relationship you have to worry about. It&amp;#x27;s the relationship with your babysitter. Just listen to this story from Kelcey Kinter over at the mamabirddiaries.com: Her sitter broke up with her over what she believes was...scooping her two-year-old&amp;#x27;s poop out of the potty. The horror--and no I&amp;#x27;m not talking about the poop! Poor Kelcey! Us moms need our downtime. So when a babysitter bails, like any coveted relationship, it can be really devastating. So when I left JD with a new sitter last night to attend a friend&amp;#x27;s bridal shower, all I could think about was Kelcey&amp;#x27;s story. As I turned to leave, I watched JD and the sitter playing with trucks and I silently prayed: Be a good boy JD. Mama needs this sitter to like--to love us! During the shower, I called to check in, but not because I was all that worried about JD&amp;#x27;s welfare. If anything, I was more concerned with the sitter&amp;#x27;s happiness. She told me that they were watching Dora. Phew, this sounds promising, I thought. When I returned, JD was fast asleep, and lucky me, the sitter said he was an angel. She told me he even walked into his bedroom at 8 P.M. prompting her to put him to sleep! After she left, I did a little happy dance. I used to do happy dances after really good dates--and now here I was thinking the same thoughts I did after a promising first date: Will this last? When will I see you again? Do you like me (us) too? Let&amp;#x27;s talk breakups: Has a sitter ever broken up with you? Why? Have you ever canned a sitter?
