These past few weeks I have just been so sick of children. I babysit two times a week and my mom babysits two times a week, so the kids are at our house the whole week and most of the time there here on the weekends. I'm mostly annoyed by the little things that they do, and not totally be their presence.
The number one reason I'm not too fond of kids right now is becase it is the summer and I want to be able to go out and have fun, but if I want to do this I have to drag around two kids. I feel like a grown adult with two children; a Soccer Mom.
I also hate the amount of money I get paid; $15 dollars a day for two kids and $10 for one kid, and most of the time I have them from 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Their mother is at work making at least $20/hour, so I feel that I should at least get paid what she does in one hour. Right? If it wasn't for me she would have to hire a babysitter that would want $50/ day. I'm not out to cause problems for Joanie and her reliable babysitters, so I never say anything. If I ever did get a raise I would feel horrible for taking the money. So I guess I will let her keep walking all over me.
Another thing I hate is that the kids don't listen.When they first get to the house they don't listen to me, it takes them about two hours to realize that I'm not their mother and they have to listen to me. Throughout the day Kaitlynn doesn't listen at all, but she is still young and testing her boundries. When they do start to listen the day starts to become smoother.
The last little complaint I have is how loud they are. They definatly take after their mother.
Most of the time I'm strict with them but that's the way I was brought up and that's the way I will bring my kids up. I believe that most children these days haven't had the proper guidence, which is mostly due to Parents wanting to be friends with their children, and that is a no! no! because then your kids will walk allover you with no respect.
Well i'm done venting L8R
