Childcare

I think a really neat thing that friends could do for each other, when they start having children, is to take turns taking care of the kids- say this Friday, I'm in charge of the kids and next Friday, my friend is in charge. That way we each get a Friday night off, to have adult time- and not have to pay a babysitter.
