Babysitting

My Daughter recently had her first babysitting "gig". I was a little apprehensive, I have never left her alone that late at night. She babysat from 6pm until 11pm. When I dropped her off, I hung around for a little bit after the parents left just to make sure everything was okay. Rather than making good use of my "free" time I ended up going straight home in case my daughter needed me. I seriously expected her to call me. I sat home for the next few hours, nervous, waiting, not so patiently for a call. Too bad it never happened. Everything went smoothly for her...I think I called her 5 times. I guess I was the one who was nervous after all. Lesson learned? Yes, to make better use of my "free" time in the future!
