Babysitter dilemma and vent

DH and I were going out tonight for dinner and he bought tix to the DSM Symphony playing in Waukee.  I needed to fu with my babysitter to confirm the time, but just hadn't yet.  Today I hear third hand that she might not be able to make it so I call and text her.  She replies to my text that she has a lacrosse tourney out of town and can't babysit.  She didn't know this last Friday when I texted her?  We won't be using her again. 

Would you call someone you had never used before as a list minute fill in?  It is someone recommended by a friend I trust.  Obviously I need to call shortly.

Re: Babysitter dilemma and vent

  • I would, as long as someone recommended the person, then for sure give it a shot!
  • I saw your post on FB-if you need someone DH and I could watch the kiddos (at our place tho-which may lead to no sleep for them). Otherwise-if the babysitter was recommended I would call. (Actually- I wouldn't leave G with someone I've never met-but than again, she's never been left with anyone but family members/close friends)

  • Thanks for the offer BP!  The sleep thing would be the issue and our activities for the night are all out west near us.  We never used a babysitter until last fall and this would have only been the third time.  Otherwise we utilize my mom when she is in town, a couple of my friends or go out sometimes when we are in KC.  The fact that we don't go out very much is what really makes me frustrated that the sitter cancelled.  The other thing that makes me particularly frustrated is she told the person that gave me her name that she had been trying to get in touch with me on Wednesday night - no texts other than the one where she said she could do it, no voicemails.  Sorry to vent more, but it is one of those things the more I think about it the more frustrated I get.
