Okay, so maybe it's not the time to post right now when I'm so angry... but I have nothing better to do right now.
I am over at a girl I work withs home babysitting her 4 kids (all boys). Overnight babysitting... yeah, that's right. It has been a nightmare!! I have been to the point of tears all freaking day. As I type, the 2 eldest boys are sneaking their gameboys (like I can't hear them!) when they should be sleeping. Their bed time was suppose to be 7pm! When the clock hits 9, you better believe I'm bustin' down their door and yanking those gameboys out of their hands.
First of all, these kids are the devil. Secondly, I NEVER want to watch anyone play Wii again. I had to watch them cry, pout, scream, hit, slam doors, violently throw pillows and the controller (once at me), and hide under beds because of the damn Wii for 6 straight hours. I actually had to pry the controller from the 2nd to oldest death grip.
I've been texting Christine and Connie, and my roommate Tiffany so I can let off a little steam so I don't snap. Oh, I bet their parents are a-crackin' their heels and laughing hysterically right now. The girl told me they hadn't been away overnight for 2 years... now I understand why. She hasn't even called to check in... not even a text!
Just so you know ahead of time, I don't want to babysit any of your kids for like 10 years... mmmmmmkay? I also don't want my own for like 15 years. Yeah, it's been that bad.
Question for everyone:
When they ask me how they were... I'm telling them, "They were horrible, and I don't want to make you feel bad, but you need to take me off your babysitting list"
Q: Is that appropriate? I still have to work with this girl.
SIDE NOTE: Mission Gameboy COMPLETED : ) He actually tried to hide it from me.
CAUTION PROFANITY CAUTION PROFANITY CAUTION PROFANITY
These little effers better go to bed, or I'm going ape shi on their a's.
These are injuries sustained while playing Wii. I could've been the lady with the black eye... but I wouldn't be smiling.
This is what I'll be dreaming of tonight....

Oh no Carrie! I'm so sorry it has been that bad! I would tell her the truth, that they were very disrespectful to you. I would do it nicely though, not too mean. If she asks you what happened, I would tell her what happened, no sugar coating! Sorry again that it has been a horrible experience. Repeat after me... Serenity Now, Serenity Now!
Hopefully your day today ends good. Maybe they'll come home a little early after your text? I'm thinking she'll want to know what they were like since you told her it was "hell". I would tell her what happened, but like Connie said, not to be mean, but to inform her that her children are little devils! So sorry about your first "real" babysitting experience.
Carrie, I am with your sisters. If my kids ever behaved like the little boys you were watching I would want to know. There is always a polite way to say that you do not want to watch kids again and hopefully she will not be too upset with Honesty! And just as a side note. Your kids will not turn out like those kids. Im pretty sure that you would die before letting any kid of yours act like that. So dont decide upon not having kids forever just because of them! HAHAA! Hope your days have been nice and peaceful since then.
Not to laugh at your bad moment, but Ha Ha Ha! That's some of the funniest commentary on babysitting I've ever heard. They sound like dear little children that I'd love to spank. Actually...when I've hit "that" point, I strap my children into their carseats, turn a movie on for them, and close the door. That way they are out of my hair, face, sight and they can't hurt themselves. But I have to side bar and say "My kids aren't even close to being that horrible". Who knows what I would do if they were. God knew I had to have semi-good kids so they could stay "alive"!
Good to talk with you again Carrie, although I wouldn't call this a "haven't seen you in a while introduction". Who needs 'em? Talk with you later.
