Well stated.

Incidentally Pinnellas County seems a weird place. A couple of mothers who were friends would baby sit for each other's children -- turns out they were breaking the law. You can have a baby sitter come to your home but not take your child to a friend's unless that person has a license.

I heard that on the news too. Isn't that a crock.

Un-friggin-believable! Well, I guess it's a good thing no one arrested me when I did the same when my children were young. We called it bartering back in my day. One person took a few kids one day, and then the other would return the favor by providing the same thing in kind. Wow!

Hey, can I sue all those other moms who let their kids come over to my house after school and play in my yard or house, eat my snacks and drinks that I provided, and then when dinner was ready they'd all disappear? I was left with a messy house and dinner late on the table many times!
