I think I need anger management or something haha here goes a vent.

I've been babysitting these two kids, .london (4) and .laken (1.5) for about... 2 months, a few nights a week. At first they started paying me real well (shes an lpn and hes a dentist, so they should!) they'd stay out until 2 in the morning and i'd watch their kids and i think i do rather well with them!

Well then .london started showing her true colors. I was fixing her hair one day and she wouldn't sit still, so i told her i was gonna get up and put food on laken's plate so he could eat (he was in the highchair) so she starts screaming and throws her little stool at me, i put her in time out and she starts screaming and hitting herself and throwing stuff and pulling her hair. i was floored i'd never seen a child act this way even when they are throwing fits!!!

& went from there, another day she started spitting at me with her tngue, i told her to stop or go sit somewhere else and she said okay okay ill stop ill stop and she gets up on me like she's gonna give me a hug and she does it *right* in my doing it face, I put her in time out again, it was the same thing as the previous time i did it, it does nothing for her. she screams and throws a fit whenever she doesn't get her way (i know most kids are like this, but biting yourself and pulling your hair and hitting yourself, do you think that's normal?)

*fast forward*
i babysat for like 4 hours on sunday so she could go tan and go grocery shopping.

well tonight was the last straw.

i went over there at 1pm and just now got home, it's almost 11pm.

I was supposed to go over there for a while so i could watch the kids while her origional daytime babysitter took her son to the doctor, and then i was to stay there and watch laken while she took london to art class until 7. (she drops her off, so i don't knwo why she doesn't come back home, take me home and watch her own son, but no she milks me for all im worth!)

she calls and says that after she drops london back off at home after art class (7pm) that she's going to go tanning, i say ok.. i figure it wouldn't take very long, she left at about 7:30 to do that, didn't call me until 8:30 to tell me that she had gone to the store too and that she'd be home in a little bit, then about an hour later she calls me to tell me she stopped by one of her friends houses and that she'd be home in a little bit!!!!!!!!! and then she asked me if i could watch the kids tomorrow too! i told her yes (for some odd reason) and she said "okay well.. i owe you for sunday, today and tomorrow, i'll just pay you then it'll be easier"

i ended up calling my mom and asking her what to do, and i called their mom back and said that i was going out of town tomorrow since i don't have school so i wouldn't be able to do it so she could go out. so she said "okay well since you don't have school im just gonna stay over here for a while."

what b*tch?

(i guess i have no backbone, i've never really had to stand up to anyone like this so i just didn't... i let people walk all over me! Lol)

so it's 10:30 and her dentist of a boyfriend comes in and says hes "here to releave me" and hands me 40 doing it dollars. I babysat their kids for almost 15 hours (give or take a little) and i get 40 dollars? that's like 2 bucks an hour!

I don't know, i'm just seriously mad right now. at first i didn't think i sould complain because at least i'm getting paid for it, but she's really using me and i can see that now, i'm so aggravated and i'm not going to sit over there and get spit on and have stuff thrown at me for 40 dollars for my whole day, no thank you, i won't be going back.

sorry Laughing

Huge Vent!
