I have left my Granddaughter with several teenage sitters. I leave our cell phone numbers and my Daughters number. I leave my Cah booklet on the counter with the shot if anything happens call 911 and then us ........as we are always relatively close. I also make sure she is wearing her medical bracelet to bed that night. My opinion is if we don’t take a break from them once in a while we are going to be some VERY  deprived parents / grandparents. Not to mention a slight bit of resentment that we don’t have a life  outside of kids. (your lying to yourself if you say you won’t) I always feel more refreshed and energized and basically BALANCED when I get some time with my husband and other adults. We have to do what we have to do and if we don’t nurture ourselves physically as well as emotionally ........ we are not good for anyone including ourselves. I knw I pesonally get GRUMPY if I don’t get out once in a while. And if MOMMA ain’t happy............ well you know the rest !  You only go around this earth ONCE and you get out of it what you put into it. I am ONLY 53 years young and I still need to play !LOL Go and enjoy yourself just take extra precaution that emergency measures are laid out !  Cherry Lane
