Okay. |
So, What kind of experience do you, do you have, then with child care? |
I guess, I think, uh, I wonder if that worked. |
Does it say something? |
I think it usually does. |
You might try, uh, |
I don't know, |
hold it down a little longer, |
and see if it, uh, |
Okay |
Well, Does it usually make a recording or |
Okay |
I, Well, I don't remember. |
It seemed like it did, |
but it might not. |
I guess I guess we can start. Uh, |
Okay. |
Okay. |
No, |
I don't, I don't have any kids. |
I, uh, my sister has a, she just had a baby, |
he's about five months old |
and she was worrying about going back to work and what she was going to do with him and the different, |
Uh-huh. |
do you have kids? |
I have three. |
Oh, really? |
Uh-huh. |
Yeah, |
I do |
Yes, uh, |
I don't work, though, |
but I used to work and, when I had two children. |
Uh-huh. |
I work off and on just temporarily and usually find friends to babysit, |
but I don't envy anybody who's in that situation to find day care. |
Yeah. |
But, does your sister live in a big community? |
Uh, yeah |
she lives, |
it's a, it's a fairly large community. |
She, uh, got real lucky, though. |
He had a boss who, uh, moved into a larger office |
Uh-huh. |
and she's able to take her baby to work with her. |
Oh, really? |
And it's a small office that she works in |
Uh-huh. |
and, uh, it's a, it's a legal firm, office, |
and it's just one lawyer |
Um. |
and so she's the only one really that takes care of the office. |
There's no one else that works there. |
Uh-huh. |
And so they have an extra room and everything for the baby, |
so it works out pretty good for her. |
Wow. |
How lucky |
I, I know a lot of people around here sometimes have, like, mothers or grandmothers that take care of their kids |
Yeah. |
and, but, the community I'm in is not a real large one, |
so there are a lot of people who babysit in their homes that, you know, |
you either know them or know somebody who knows them to get to, |
Yeah, |
so it's fairly safe. |
Yeah, |
to get references and that, |
so, but, uh, |
I, I don't feel comfortable about leaving my kids in a big day care center, but, simply because there's so many kids and so many |
Worried that they're not going to get enough attention? |
Yeah, |
and, uh, you know, colds and things like that get spread real easy and things, |
Yeah. |
but, and they're expensive |
and, course, there's a lot of different types of day care available, too, you know, where they teach them academic things. |
Yes. |
Or they just watch them and let them play and things like that, |
but, |
take a long time to find the right place |
Yeah, |
and you, and you don't always even know if it's, it's going to be the right place or not. |
Uh-huh. |
Anything, I guess, could happen. |
Uh-huh. |
Because after, I guess after he, you know, gets to a certain age she's going to have to take him to a day care. |
Uh-huh, |
when he starts toddling around and stuff. |
Yeah. |
Yeah. |
When, when he's not, when she can't keep control of him |
and he starts crawling |
that's, |
Uh-huh. |
It would be hard, |
I think it would be kind of stressful. |
It would be nice to have him around |
Uh-huh. |
but, uh, seems like, you know, |
what if he cried at the wrong time |
or the phone rang or, you know, at the wrong time |
