"Ever since Emmett was born, we&amp;#039;ve had so many lovely offers from people volunteering to babysit him. The problem? I don&amp;#039;t trust any of &amp;#039;em except my mom who, inconveniently, lives in Rhode Island. Maybe I was scarred by the shaken-baby syndrome video they made us watch before we left the hospital, but I worry my not-quite-perfect baby would be too much for my friends. And my mother-in-law has been great, but she doesn&amp;#039;t understand why I don&amp;#039;t want to do things her way\u2014&amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s fine to give him a bottle of water,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;You should use baby powder in his diapers&amp;quot;\u2014and I don&amp;#039;t want to leave Emmett with someone who&amp;#039;ll ignore the way I want to do things, no matter how trivial. She also keeps saying we should leave the baby in his stroller in the backyard while we take care of stuff inside. Hello! We live in a great neighborhood, but it&amp;#039;s still New York City! And I wouldn&amp;#039;t even want him unattended in her backyard in the suburbs\u2014I don&amp;#039;t care if it was safe for her kids in the &amp;#039;70s! I know I&amp;#039;m probably being ridiculous. My friends are awesome and patient and love babies and my mother-in-law did manage to raise two kids of her own. Still, I&amp;#039;m wary. Who do you trust to watch your kids? How old were your kids before you left them with someone other than their father? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
