Today was a long day - 3 under the age of 2 (including a 6 month old with acid reflux issues who did nothing but spit up all over me ALL.DAY.LONG.) - kelly Jul 12, 18:39 22
- ack!!!! I feel for you. and yeah, I would not have taken money for that either. - loosilu Jul 12, 18:58 12
  - (spoils) - kelly Jul 12, 18:59 11
    - it's not in my general vicinity. - loosilu Jul 12, 19:00 10
      - Oh, and the town is somewhere in Fairfax County. - kelly Jul 12, 19:05 3
        
        Fairfax Co is shockingly big. - loosilu Jul 12, 19:07 2

        yeah, just about everywhere in Fairfax is wealthy. - loosilu Jul 12, 19:27
      - I have a (temp) job interview tomorrow, so I am hoping I am not available... :) - kelly Jul 12, 19:01 5
        
        ah, I'm out of town this weekend. Brooklyn and Long Island for family stuff. -- nm - loosilu Jul 12, 19:05 4
        
        Oh, I just meant in general. - kelly Jul 12, 19:06 3
        
        ok. well, let me know if you want to meet up. spoil. - loosilu Jul 12, 19:09 2
        
        Heh, okay. - kelly Jul 12, 19:14 1
        
        I'm out of town for the next two weekends, unfortunately. - loosilu Jul 12, 19:26
- yeah, i babysit for two of my friends pretty regularly (including twins who will just be 2 next week.) i wouldn't let them pay me either. - Andie Jul 12, 18:46 4
  - My friends pay me. I think this is partly because they know I'm strapped for cash. -- nm - loosilu Jul 12, 18:59
  - I guess I feel like we help each other in different ways. - kelly Jul 12, 18:58
  - I liked Kelly's friends' solution of the gift. -- nm - landbeck Jul 12, 18:48 1
    - oh, those are nice friends! and i'm sure she earned it. -- nm - Andie Jul 12, 18:49
- You are kind, but I think the only people I would ever NOT pay to watch kids would be family who were doing it because they offerred to do it. - landbeck Jul 12, 18:45 2
  - Oh noooo. - kelly Jul 12, 19:17
  - barfy babies, very tough. Also, one kid I babysit for is Asperger's. He usually is good for me, but when he's not, watch out. -- nm - loosilu Jul 12, 19:12
- You should have stopped talking about Varitek. It makes me want to vomit, too. -- nm - David Jul 12, 18:41
Babies are annoying. They're all "Feed Me" and "Bathe me" and "Do something with my waste." - David Jul 12, 18:39 8
- I think of it as an investment. Sure, there's a lot of work on the front end, but then they get skills. I love being able to hand the new equipment - landbeck Jul 12, 18:47 5
  - Don't forget Facebook! -- nm - David Jul 12, 18:48 4
    - "Here kid, post to the forum for me." -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 18:49
    - That's the dark side of it... -- nm - landbeck Jul 12, 18:49 2
      - (but truly hilarious...I crack up every time I think about that) -- nm - David Jul 12, 18:49 1
        
        :) My son would be delighted to know that. -- nm - landbeck Jul 12, 18:50
- Can't go two hours without a major crisis. And for what? Cause the birds woke them up? Grow up, kid. -- nm - Reagen Jul 12, 18:40 1
  - Seriously. If Tippi Hedren can deal with it, I think you can, junior. -- nm - David Jul 12, 18:41
