Each parent has a different view on how children should be disciplined, so that's a very important discussion to have. My sister recently let a woman babysit her kids and this woman had a nasty habit of smacking her own kids across the face. While my sister isn't opposed to the occasional spanking on the bottom, she absolutely does not condone smacking across the face. Needless to say, she's found a new babysitter. This is a great idea, and I certainly agree that married couples should try to find or start a co-op of some sort. Not only are the benefits to the marriage spot on, but you also have the added benefit of being a better parent. You have some alone time away from the kids, which allows you to relax and refocus. This can really help you when dealing with your children. I think trying for two to three nights a month would be even better than just one.
