For me, the only other person to rely on is my husband, due to not having family close and moving around alot. You tend to lean on the person you are around the most, which is my husband.

My husband is my rock and helps me in any time of need. Whatever the situation or circumstances, he is always there for me when I need him. I just recently moved ot of state, so we are alot further from ANY family to just pop in or help with anything such as if I got sick.

I would have to rely on my husband also. We live 6 hrs away from family so they can not helpo like they use to and we have some friends but cant rely on them to watch my kids for a long period of time. Besides he is great with the kids and he is great with me.

My husband is my equal in every way when it comes to parenting. I would have no problem letting him watch my son. He is pretty even keel about most of the baby stuff, even the throwing up and nasty diapers!

Def my husband unless he was deployed and in that case it would be my mom.

My husband would do it unles he had to work then one of our mothers or my two best friends. I think that it should be someone that my daughter know fairly well and is okay with staying with them if that is the case.

Well if I was really bad off sick I would say my husband but if he couldn't(like while he was a work) then my parents or his...our families would always reach out to help. I mean yea my parents and his are 2hrs away from us but I know that my parents would take off work to watch Brandon.

Well for me all i have is my parents at the moment no spouse and my parents treat Ava more like a daughter than a granddaughter so yeah they would be the best.

My husband for sure. He's the only person I can depend and rely on no matter what. He works a lot of hours but he would figure something out. His dad and step-mom live only 30 minutes away so they could and would help out when he would be at work.

My husband! But if he wasnt able due to health reasons then my best friend..Lindsey.

First my husband then either my grandma or my husbands parents, they watch them when we have to go out of town so why wouldn't they watch them if I was ill.

If something happened to the both of us. I would choose my brother and his family.

Mama is the only right answer here by a long shot! I would never consider anybody else.

My hubs is the best option. Unfortunately his career sometimes makes that impossible. If he was not available I would call on my in-laws since they are just an hour away. If not them then my parents.

I was just in the hospital for 5 days. My FIL was able to come over b/c of his work schedule and watch my girls for me so that my husband didn't have to take time off of work. Of course, my husband is my first choice always!

I would say that I would have my husband take care of my (our) kids if I got sick , but, he is older than me and both my parents and my in-laws are older also -- so, I would have to say my brother and my sister-in-law because they are younger.

Also, my brother and his family -- their kids are around my kids ages also! So, I know that they would be taken care of!

First and foremost my husband, next my sister, or sister-in-law, followed by my parents, my father in law, brother-in-law and soon to be brother-in-law, then a babysitter, and lastly my Mother-in-law...she is making it a competition to watch the baby, not really caring to watch the baby, so long as she "gets to go first"...so with that, she is dead last in my book to watch my son
