I love my aunt who on her own started sourcing tips for me to post. So
today's Get It Done Tip is compliments of a chiropractor somewhere in NJ who I
never met. ;)
Now, let me preface this with the tip in its current form is
probably not going to be useful to many families because of the cost; HOWEVER,
if you are an open-minded person, every idea can be used for inspiration to spark other
ideas.
Here's what my Aunt G wrote:
"Our chiropractor said that when the
children were young he and his wife got a babysitter every week from 4 pm to
8 pm. They did it on a regular basis and
paid the babysitter for 52 weeks if she babysat or not. They just wanted to be sure that the two of
them had quality time and fun together without the children. Sometimes they went into NYC or other times
they would just go to a mall.
It kind of
reminds me of my subscription to the Metropolitan Opera. If I didn't have a subscription, I wouldn't
go as often. I would make excuses. I paid the money and therefore I have to
go. Every time I do attend, I'm so happy
I did. I'm sure many
a mother doesn't want to spend the money or makes an excuse to stay home for
the kids or something else. A regular
system of paying a babysitter for 52 weeks prevents excuses. Just a thought."
I am simply in awe of this idea. Even if you don't do a
luxury 52 weeks, the idea of pre-paying a year for once or twice a month or even
once every other month could work.
Fab!
