household chores or babysitting?

Well this is easy for me I love to clean so that is what I would choose. However, at this time in my life I am doing both. Taking care of my 3 year old granddaugher and keeping the house clean. I have worked outside of the house for 32 years and this is definitely a different way of life for me. I'm trying to find work at home that will pay the bills but haven't found anything as of yet. Have a great day!

Well thats an easy one for me.. chores! I don't have much contact with children these days so yep honestly if I had to choose it would be chores. I love being clean and I do my best to keep my enviroment clean. Although they are days am soooo lazy when it comes to chores!

To be honest, I'd rather babysit my 3-year-old and 1-year-old nieces than do house chores. Yes, they do occasionally get on my nerves, but that's normal. And even then I'd still prefer to babysit my nieces. I still do some house chores as they need to be done, but it's not my favorite thing to do. I've always preferred to babysit and play with children rather than do house chores.

Ya know i'd rather do chores than take care of a 7month old too. I mean i've got an 18month old and he's just been wearing me thin with his little tantrums and facial expressions. Your right there is a lot of chores these days and usually i'll do them just to stay busy enough where my wife will pretty much watch the kid all day with the exception of doin stuff outside and hanging out with dad in the garage or whatever. I just can't wait for him to be old enough to do some of these chores himself.

I do both all the time.:) If it's your kid, of course you'll choose childcare over household chores. However, when I give my husband the choice between the two, he always opts for the household chore. Nice :( Not that he doesn't like spending time with our daughter, he just doesn't want to be in charge of her care.

If I am to be a home buddy guy, Id prefer doing both. here's the trick, take the baby with me at my mother's place, baby sitting while doing the household chores. I am a guy and I do love babies..

I think a 7 month old baby is still pretty managable compared to a toddler. You get to take naps when she is also sleeping. You just have to discover how to distract her from what is bugging her and have her focus on something else. You will discover that a baby changes mood abruptly. If I am in an interactive mood, I would choose the baby, but if I am feeling a bit anti-social, then I would probably choose the housechores instead, because the baby will definitely not enjoy my company if I will not be playful hehe

I prefer on doing household chores, babysitting is a lot pain to me (maybe)

I'm with you on this one. I would also rather take the household chores over baby sitting. I can't take anything that I don't understand - I guess that goes with the fact that "it's not my baby" that I fail to understand how it behaves and where its tantrums stem from. I prefer things that I can control. I can't make a baby shut up but I can certainly make dust "magically" disappear with the help of my broom wand LOL Thanks for the response on my discussion!

Well i do both now...LOL...I do what i need to around the house and also have 2 Children a 3 year old and a 1 year old.My 3 year old usually ends up next door to play with the little boy thats a little younger than him but they play well together. My 1 year old is a CRY BABY. He cries all the time when hes not being held or doing something he wants you to do. But when id do house work id put him in the play pen so i know he dont get hurt but that didnt work so he now follows me around the house and as i put up he pulls back out but i tell him no,please dont do that and he'll stop and then he'll go pick up his toys and put them in the toy box but they dont stay like that for long. LOL BUT with a 7 month old...u could try a swing,walker,play pen,Bottle,Toys could be a few things to try and see if one works.best of luck to you.

If it's not a choice, I can do both job at the same time. When my younger brother still a baby, I often need to babysit him. So, I do both job at the same time. I put him in the playpen while continue doing the chores. Using the baby walker was a good idea too but it would gave him more freedom to explore and more things to reach. That's why the playpen work best. Besides, my younger brother can be left alone to play so there's no problem.

I would rather household than babysitter. Baby is lovely at the same time noisy. You have to care for her sleeping, eating, and so on. unless, you best like baby though it's not your baby. My character tending to silence, so for me, I prefer do household, when finish, I have time to do my interesting with all my heart. but babysitter is not.

i love both ,,

i love both, I love babies and also i love to some households chores.....
