Yes, I know babysitters don't work for everyone; but very often we think we can't when we really can (I have done this for years and years).  I think now that even if the kid is unhappy for those 2 or 3 hours, the kid is better off with a parent who can take a break.  And its weird how they show reselience at the times you least expect it: like when you've gotten a babysitter (maybe in the daytime if it works better than during bedtime).
