did the babysitter have to get the kids to do anything they did not like doing- like clean their rooms or do homework or set the table or anything? Very often babysitters are not making kids do anything, and also very often babysitters can sit and play right along with the kids the whole babysitting time.
AND yes...kids know moms love them no matter what and feel safer to be who they are, show their true colors, and also yes, honeymooning....LOTS of reasons why kids might be good for babysitters.
AND baby sitters are not usually trying to also run the household or get anything else done at the same time, so they sometimes have more patience.
