...of the ladies in Michigan. They are fortunate to have friends they like and trust enough to let each help out with the others' kids. I'd love to have friends like that nearby, but as another poster mentioned all of my best girlfriends live in other states. I may have the occasional playdate with my son's friends, but I would never trust those mothers with my child or my home. Their values are so different from mine, as are their parenting techniques, that I will never be able to spend more than very short periods of time with any of them. I have no family near me, so I get it done with just my caring hubby for help.
As long as they are not sharing a man, I say "good for them!" It's a wonderful thing to see women wanting to help one another succeed.
