I would leave her with the helper too. Usually my kids behave when going out, but my son is the one that was giving me trouble. So, one day that dad was in the house, I left him with dad because he was misbehaving. He was good for a while. Some other date he did again, but dad wasn't home. So we all stayed indoors (I have to take snow suits off!) Thank God the rest were infants so I did not have any complains, other than my son's. He never did it again. He loooooves being outside. He doesn't want to miss that.
