So today i was babysitting these 3 kids Andrew is 7 Bella is 5 & Lexi is 9 months & it was HELL ON EARTH i learned i am NOT having kids til im at least 24! I was trying to feed Lexi & Bella wanted to play a game & kept squealing in my ear & finally i finished feeding Lexi & changed her & put her PJs on her (Which took a good half an hour she did not want to put on pajamas) & went out to play with Bella but i couldnt Lexi was crawling everywhere & pulling herself on everything so we had to put it up so now it was like 7:00 pm & Bella strolls in & goes "Your supposed to give us a bath" i was like WTF so i had to text my mom & have her ask their mother if im really supposed to give them baths apparently yes i am so i put Bella in but to wash her hair i had to put Lexi down who started screeching because i had to put her in her crib & she was just sobbing so i would be running back & forth & back & forth it took me FOREVER it was 7:40 by the time i got her out & it took me at least 20 minutes to get Andrew IN the tub then a good half an hour to get him out all while cleaning up after them brushing Bellas hair & trying to keep Lexi from hurting herself so then Andrew gets out & wants a snack so im trying to make it but it didnt say to cook it so i set it on the counter & go to get Lexis bottle he comes in & goes "Wheres my food?!?!?!?! You dont listen well!!" i was just like EXCUSE ME??????????? so i went to cook his freaking food & Lexis in the other room screaming & so i go to put her in the bath & Bella comes walking "Im gonna paint my toenails my mommy lets me all the time" i was just like okay i'll do it when Lexis out of the bath which was definitely a lie since that was never going to happen but i got Lexi out & couldnt for anything get her into her pajamas again & fast forward another hour i realized
HAVING KIDS UNDER 18 IS INSANE
No joke i mean their mother is a single mother so i dont know how in the world she does it every day so to all you single parents i commend you highly & to all you parents in general who havent in any way hurt their children YOUR AMAZING i would need so much more patience to be able to do it every day 24/7 dont get me wrong i didnt lay a finger on these kids but Andrew nearly got screamed at a lot God no kids for me for at LEAST 10 years!

lol same for me no children for a very long time
i worked in the nursery at church tonight...or i guess last night....and omgsh
we had so many!!!!!
i wasnt alone but yet i was exhausted,
one kid wanted me to hold him the whole time and one kept crawling on everything,
another was trying to climb over the half door we have an another was stealing toys and pushing other kids
so yeah we had about 12 in there.
it was fun......kind of

oh Kelly..yeah..i wouldn't want to have kids that early too..HoPeLuVKaErS, was it really exhausting?goodness i'm taking Early Childhood Education as a course of study soon and there's gonna be weekly attachments to preschools.. and there're mostly classes of at least 25!!oh boy!!that'll be one hectic day..are there any preschool teachers who are members here?what is life like?

Lol well it was never a plan but i meant to add that any small part of me who even THOUGHT about having kids any earlier than that was beaten to death tonight lol
Kat i get what your saying me & my girl scout troop had to babysit for this Mardi Gras thing last year & the kids were INSANE there was like 35 or something i went crazy lmao

Lol. :] I bet you'll be wanting a baby before those ten years are up.

lol! That reminds me of me when I first started babysitting.

Idk though... Kids just grew on me I guess. Now I dont mind the constant running around after them and stuff. Karen (Kristins mom) works at a daycare in a gym, and I go with her sometimes. Theres only 2 or 3 workers, and rooms full of kids running around and screaming. I love it though.
