A: Okay.
A: So, What kind of experience do you, do you have, then with child care?
B: I guess, I think, uh, I wonder if that worked.
A: Does it say something?
B: I think it usually does.
B: You might try, uh,
B: I don't know,
B: hold it down a little longer,
B: and see if it, uh,
A: Okay
A: Well, Does it usually make a recording or
B: Okay
B: I, Well, I don't remember.
B: It seemed like it did,
B: but it might not.
B: I guess I guess we can start. Uh,
A: Okay.
A: Okay.
B: No,
B: I don't, I don't have any kids.
B: I, uh, my sister has a, she just had a baby,
B: he's about five months old
B: and she was worrying about going back to work and what she was going to do with him and the different,
A: Uh-huh.
B: do you have kids?
A: I have three.
B: Oh, really?
A: Uh-huh.
A: Yeah,
A: I do
A: Yes, uh,
A: I don't work, though,
A: but I used to work and, when I had two children.
B: Uh-huh.
A: I work off and on just temporarily and usually find friends to babysit,
A: but I don't envy anybody who's in that situation to find day care.
B: Yeah.
A: But, does your sister live in a big community?
B: Uh, yeah
B: she lives,
B: it's a, it's a fairly large community.
B: She, uh, got real lucky, though.
B: He had a boss who, uh, moved into a larger office
A: Uh-huh.
B: and she's able to take her baby to work with her.
A: Oh, really?
B: And it's a small office that she works in
A: Uh-huh.
B: and, uh, it's a, it's a legal firm, office,
B: and it's just one lawyer
A: Um.
B: and so she's the only one really that takes care of the office.
B: There's no one else that works there.
A: Uh-huh.
B: And so they have an extra room and everything for the baby,
B: so it works out pretty good for her.
A: Wow.
A: How lucky
A: I, I know a lot of people around here sometimes have, like, mothers or grandmothers that take care of their kids
B: Yeah.
A: and, but, the community I'm in is not a real large one,
A: so there are a lot of people who babysit in their homes that, you know,
A: you either know them or know somebody who knows them to get to,
B: Yeah,
B: so it's fairly safe.
A: Yeah,
A: to get references and that,
A: so, but, uh,
A: I, I don't feel comfortable about leaving my kids in a big day care center, but, simply because there's so many kids and so many
B: Worried that they're not going to get enough attention?
A: Yeah,
A: and, uh, you know, colds and things like that get spread real easy and things,
B: Yeah.
A: but, and they're expensive
A: and, course, there's a lot of different types of day care available, too, you know, where they teach them academic things.
B: Yes.
A: Or they just watch them and let them play and things like that,
A: but,
A: take a long time to find the right place
B: Yeah,
B: and you, and you don't always even know if it's, it's going to be the right place or not.
A: Uh-huh.
B: Anything, I guess, could happen.
A: Uh-huh.
B: Because after, I guess after he, you know, gets to a certain age she's going to have to take him to a day care.
A: Uh-huh,
A: when he starts toddling around and stuff.
B: Yeah.
A: Yeah.
B: When, when he's not, when she can't keep control of him
B: and he starts crawling
B: that's,
A: Uh-huh.
A: It would be hard,
A: I think it would be kind of stressful.
A: It would be nice to have him around
B: Uh-huh.
A: but, uh, seems like, you know,
A: what if he cried at the wrong time
A: or the phone rang or, you know, at the wrong time
