I hate kids
Yes, I'm a mother, but I hate kids. Mine are cool because I can scream at them and beat them. But I'm currently babysitting a 19 month old from 8am-530pm for $50 a week. Yeah, pretty sucky pay. Plus this baby is a royal pain. I actually hate this kid. I'm good to her, but I don't like her. She's a monster. She gets into the trash can, throws all the trash everywhere, hides my computer mouse, hides my phone, beats up my 10month old daughter, hits her, pushes her, takes her toys from her. I really want to smack her, but there's something about hitting other people's kids that is wrong. *sigh* I'm going to quit this crappy job.
However, the best thing about this job is that I get to torment her with my vampire dolls! She screams bloody murder and I just die laughing! |

I know. I told her on Sunday that I couldn't do it anymore because it was too hard on me. I gave her 2 weeks to find someone else. But then I opened my fat mouth and said "I could prolly do it for a little longer if you really need it."
Yep, I'm a jackass |

Wow, telemarketers make more than that and probably put up with just as much crap.

I get the feeling she's not doing it for the money.

We did that once. Mommypooh occasionally watches her best friends kid...I swear...boy cries like a little girl.
On their way out today, the mother says "Is it bad to hate your own child's cry?"...I just started laughing!

Well, try to make the best of the situation until they find someone else-but tormenting the kid only makes you a big of a brat is she is
 ....Don't forget-she's not even two years old yet-try and be patient..and take your frustration out on her..I had to watch one of my nieces when my oldest daughter was 2..my niece was 4 1/2 and a huge P.I.A..(and still is now that she is older)..she got on my nerves, BIG TIME..I had to keep reminding myself that she was only a kid...so I feel for ya..but.. give her something to keep her occupied-like play doh or bread cut into shapes and the time will pass quickly..

Have to agree with you, I only like my own kids too. But most kids who act out are usually just really bored and need something to do even at 19 months old. This is when their brains are like sponges so maybe take the opportunity to teach her the alphabet and numbers...you will be surprised at how much they want to learn...oh yeah...and good luck.

Aww, but Obby, the tormenting is fun! Besides, now she's getting used to the doll so that's not working anymore. I know I need to be firm, but I'm just such a sucker.

this guy (Man With Stained Chain Saw Let in to U.S.) will probably scare the hell out of the kid if the doll doesn't work.

One thing I have always said about Kmart/Walmart and Big Lots! (Formerly Pick-N-Save): At Kmart/Walmart, you can slap your own kids around and nobody will say anything... at Big Lots!, you can slap around other people's kids and nobody will say anything.
