RkyMtnHigh 0 #1 April 20, 2007 Any funny stories to share? When the kid screamed just for the sake of screaming, I used to hold a mirror in front of their face and say "oh loooooooook...." and the kid would freak out about what they looked like with the fake tears and pouty face and usually stop throwing a tantrum. _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guppie01 0 #2 April 20, 2007 I had a kid (maybe about 6-7 years old) threaten me that he was going to summons the devil on me and have his pack of wolves attack and eat me on the way home unless I would let him stay up. Scared the shit outta me, I told the parents I would never sit for them again.... oh and the same night his little sister puked all over me. I felt like I was in the movie Exorsist. g"Let's do something romantic this Saturday... how bout we bust out the restraints?" Raddest Ho this side of Jersey #1 - MISS YOU OMG, is she okay?

Years ago I watched a friend's baby while she worked and partied until he was 3. He got into the habit of biting. I cured him by putting a 9 volt battery on his tongue. It worked. He wasn't hurt and didn't cry. I told him that's what it feels like to us when he bites. No wonder I'm not babysitting this weekend. Grandma found out about this too.Be yourself!

ACMESkydiver 0 #5 April 20, 2007 I never babysat until I had a baby. I actually took early childhood development courses whilest pregnant so I'd know what was supposed to happen when...-Actually, once I helped watch a baby while the grandma was around, but I was never alone with a child until we brought our little Jaleesa home. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

SkydiveStMarys 0 #7 April 20, 2007 I remember when Capri Suns first came out. The family I sat for kept them in the freezer. I wanted one, but not frozen, so I put it in the microwave. Thats when I learned that metal objects and microwaves don't get along so well. The freakin sparks scared the shit out of me!!Never did tell them what I did.Bobbi A miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude.

RkyMtnHigh 0 #9 April 20, 2007 That would be like Pavlov's dog theoryscream...honk! scream..honk! One kid used to pull his foot up to his mouth and bite his toenails til they bled..so I asked him if he'd like Tabasco sauce. He said "I don't know. why?" I said "didn't you know EVERYTHING tastes better with Tabasco!" _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

livendive 8 #19 April 20, 2007 When I was 21 I dated a girl for awhile who'd babysat me when I was a kid. It was odd randomly running into her in a bar hundreds of miles away from where we'd grown up, and having her almost immediately make her intentions totally obvious.

selbbub78 0 #23 April 20, 2007 This one time i was watching the 2 kids, and his mom knew that i had gone to my prom, so I brought my pictures over and was showin her, and the oldest one (6 years old) was looking at the pictures. All dressed up and everything... She left the room followed by her son, then her son said "Mom, did she get married?". i thought it was cuteCReW Skies, bubbles "Women fake orgasms - men fake whole relationships" – Sharon Stone "The world is my dropzone" (wise crewdog quote) "The light dims, until full darkness pierces into the world."-KDM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RunsWthSizzors 0 #24 April 21, 2007 I had a couple of good ways to keep kids distracted and busy. I always brought popcorn to pop on the stove. The REAL way. I don't think I ever ran into a kid who had seen it done that way. They always thought I was too cool. I also made a habit of bringing a bag of clothes pins. As soon as mom and dad left we would take all the extra sheets and blankets and make big tents out of them. We would hook them to everything. This wasn't quite as popular with mom and dad if they were still up when they got home! It seems like I always got stuck with the really rotten kids no one else would watch. I'd say, "Bring um to me and go have a good time! I can handle um!" Then even before they left I'd take the kid in the other room, pick them up by the front of the shirt till their feet dangled (these were relatives, mind you) and growl, "Don't forget. I'm the mean aunt. They brought you here because they know how mean I am. I haven't beat a kid all day so I'm glad you're here!" They were always little angels for me. If you can't live without me, why aren't you dead already? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
