i hate the people i'm nannying for, and here's why:
we're not even going to focus on the fact that they don't spend any time with their children even when they are in the same state as them, therefore turning their children into needy, attention deprived monsters (that last word is a stretch [or complete lie], i actually love them. they're so cute [slash a pain in my probably-not-meant-to-be-a-nanny ass]). no, my hate for the people i'm nannying for stems from their innability (or disinterest) in thinking things through before leaving the state. how hard is it to think "hey, i wonder if our kids will need to eat while we're gone for two straight weeks", or "hey, since we left the fridge and pantry bare, i wonder if becky will need funds to purchase groceries for our children (and herself [what? its a perk!])", or "hey, there's no gas in the van, should we leave a debit card like we promised we would?" and lastly "hmm, if we forget all of the previously mentioned things, i wonder if becky is currently dirt poor and can't fund two weeks of our children's lives, and we should leave her money since these are, in fact, our kids...". do i need to explain my point further? i think everyone gets it. even the dead horse.
okay, so the second reason i hate them is because they thought it was a prime idea to schedule their van to be fixed 3 days after my arrival/their departure. so i had to have someone drive out here and drop off the van, leaving me carless. good thing the girls like walking to school (good thing i do too, but i still get to claim it as a point of complaint). but then i'm trapped in the house even when i do have all of those free hours during school and that just seems wrong somehow. and of course the car wasn't finished in three days like it was supposed to be, so i then had to borrow a car from my parents, forcing my dad to ride the bus (which he loves--but still, i get to claim this). oh, did i mention it was just body work being done?? WTF? what is wrong with you people? get the freaking body work done when you get back in town. its not detrimental and you're inconveniencing at least 8-10 people. if you're kids didn't worship me (this could be due to the neediness and in no way a reflection of my charming personality), and they weren't so stinking cute, i would have dropped them off in a random parking lot somewhere by now and driven off towards freedom (after the van was fixed, of course). i freaking hate you.
also, the house is haunted. but i don't really hate that.

remember when i babysat for clark in dc. i hated that. i lasted five hours and that was with money and food supplies. as it turns out i dont just hate the people i babysit for but i hate their children as well.
i hate it when i get all excited because it says there are 3 comments but in actuality two have been deleted.
two words will teach these parents their lesson.
child services.
even an anonymous tip will get those guys over here lickity split. then maybe next time they'll think about leaving you high and dry... oh yeah, and their kids too.

but in another way, everybody was pretty happy--you and the kids for walking more and your dad for riding the bus. plus think about the environment.
i would steal their computer and/or tv. and do they have a skateboard? i need another one.

its actually all your fault for putting up with this. You need to put your foot down, or hate yourself for not putting your foot down. It's hard bcause you're nice, but havent you figured out that people WILL walk all over you if they knw you'll let them.

chica,
i think you're saying all that because your afraid of opening up to people. probably because you don't want to get hurt. but your loneliness may be making you bitter.
