What the absolute ####
Jan 11, 2019, 9:13 AM

I'm going into baby sitting.
These people want $20 an hour. I DON'T MAKE $20 AN HOUR and I bust my ### way more than a babysitting job would ever do.
I'm in the wrong line of work.

But sit around a house all day while some sniveling brat runs around until it's time to give him/her their benadryl nap would be pretty amazing.

to them too many times their brain will start producing less melatonin and they won't be able to go to sleep without it anymore.
Wife of says that's not true. I don't care.

I have two cousins that looked like they were on Meth when they took Benadryl.

to him, but my middle kid is hella nuts when you give him syzzurp (benadryl). The other two get jacked up, but not like the middle one. Then they pass out and have nightmares. I think Im going to try it some time soon with them, a little family experiment. CHase mine with bourbon though.

Depends on the age.

3 or under, they're earning that, if they do a good job. BIG IF there. That's changing diapers, feeding, naps, cleaning up the mess they make, and actually INTERACTING with them and not texting their 37 boyfriends, scanning social media, and/or otherwise disengaged on their phones.
But most baby sitters charge $10/hr. $20 is pretty steep.
Seriously, if it's a teenage girl..heck any female under 25yo, tell her to turn off her phone, or confiscate it until she leaves. You'll end up with an injured kid.

All this time it's been some exaggeration? 3? That's like half a litter. Why are people always harping on your 37 kids or whatever? I feel let down.

and $2,500/month every 3rd month--those odd ones sucked. You could pay on a pretty nice mortgage for that. Would have had to pay for full days if I didn't work from home at that point.

What is the age at which your child actually needs a
Jan 11, 2019, 9:33 AM

babysitter? I feel like there should be a sweet spot between 7-14 years old where they're cognizant enough to not seriously harm themselves, but not old enough to get into your liquor cabinet yet.
Having kids seems like an all around terrible experience.

back in '04
My approach was, if I paid more than anyone else, I could get the sitter anytime I needed them, even if another couple was scheduled that night

we usually offer to provide dinner, aren't always taken up on it....
kids are both pretty self-sufficient when it comes to bathing now, but the expectations once were that the babbysitter would take care of that & bedtime.
I'd up it to $15/hr if she wore some of her instagram outfits to the house, though

Like to fish?
Buy a 21+ foot center console. Put a playpen in the back, put the kids in life jackets. Fish off the front.
Write the boat off as a business expense.
Get paid $20 per hour.
Done.
