Why I'm Never Asked to Babysit...

The reasons I'm never asked to babysit may not be many, but I understand why I'm not chosen. After all, the last time I was given guardianship over a group of children, half of them ended up on a school roof because I was teaching them to do this:



Most parents don't need much more of a reason to choose someone else to watch their child while they're away...

  1. Whoa. At first I was thinking "well, that's nice, but I'm not gonna watch six minutes of this." Um. Yeah. I totally did. My boys came to stand behind me and we just spent the whole time going "whoa."

    No wonder no one asks you to babysit is right!

  3. Welcome, Kbrebes :) Great to have you!

    And I'll have you know, Ali, that I very cautious with the kids and make sure they don't do anything out of their realm. They start on the ground and have to show the muscle and coordination that proves they can move up. It's a blast!

    And at least if I'm there I can stop them before they do anything stupid, right? 2:27-2:40 was the hardest I let any of them get that day, and I have to say it rocks. Flipping off walls and stuff, though? Kids feel like absolute rock stars when they can do that, so it's fun to teach... safely, of course :D
