"Most times we’re looking, we text with our three go-to sitters and inevitably (after taking a couple of days to respond), they tell us they have other obligations (i.e. sports, after-school activities, family plans, etc.). Or worse, they’ll initially say yes and then a few days later apologetically reach out saying they’ve realized there’s a conflict."
"Honestly, I just find the whole experience so exhausting that I’d almost rather not bother."
