My parents are saints. Truly. They may drive me crazy sometimes, but they are amazing people and I could not have asked for better parents.
I (being Jewish) agreed to give up my weekend babysitting overnight in exchange for a shit ton of cash. The result thus far? Picking up the older boy because there had been no ride arranged for him. He was coming home late at night from a Bar Mitzvah and his parents assumed he'd find a ride. HE'S 13! WHAT THE HELL DOES HE KNOW ABOUT RESPONSIBILITY?
With the little girl sleeping in her room, I have no choice but to call my parents and ask them to stay while I pick up Noah and his friends. Granted, I don't think anything bad could happen while Goldie is asleep, but what are the odds she'd wake up, see I'm not there (or in fact no one was there) and call her mother crying? And then I'd get chewed out. Plus (paranoia), what are the odds someone breaks in or something bad happens? Kim will call me paranoid but I wasn't taking any chances. So, I called my folks and they agreed to stay over for a half hour while I picked up Noah and his friends. Now, my father would do anything for me, even going out late at night to stay at someone's house where is daughter is babysitting (he hates being taken away from home late at night. Absolutely HATES it). And my mother would've been in the car before Dad could protest.
Long story short, everything is fine, I pick up Noah and friends and get back to see that my mom has done the dishes and fed the dog lmao I'm sorry but that's really funny to me. So, I know that by coming over to a stranger's house to watching after someone's sleeping daughter while I have to run a very important errand, they are saints. Truly. We fight, argue, and make up- but in the end, my parents are pretty amazing people.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go mangle something. BRB.
