Well, while my kids don't use the babysitter services at this point,
I'm one of the major proponents of having the community
pay the bill (when it comes to general meetings and some other
community-wide events).  I don't feel any resentment whatsoever,
and I do think that in a community which values children and
understands the difficulties parents face (especially when 
their children are young), paying for childcare is par for the
course.
