Too headstrong for this.
I think this is my last babysitting gig. (Babysitting my two young cousins at the moment.) I mean, they either think I’m one great babysitter or one shit-ass babysitter.
To be honest, I’m really unsure of myself when taking care of them. And there are certain…thoughts that I don’t think I should have when dealing with the family. No, not those thoughts! Get your mind out of the gutter. Just a few ideas that I refuse to budge from.
For example, the first day I babysat them, I took them out to watergun each other. Then they went against my order and watergunned me. So I also joined in. With the water hose. Oh yeah. I noticed that the younger boy was sort of shivering so I stopped immediately, went in and told them to have a shower. I mean, I don’t want them getting a cold and then the parents telling me off.
The next day, my aunt (their mother) told me that her kids have been told that they are not allowed to watergun anymore. What the flying fuck? This is where those unwanted thoughts come in.
I don’t know how to phrase it so I’m just going to say it. Well, type it. I know I’m not a parent. I’m not even 20. But I believe that not letting them play watergun because he told you that he had a little shiver is total utter bullshit a little overboard. I always kept on eye on them. Once any of them started feeling cold or gave signs of it, I stopped.
It’s not just that incident. We go over there for dinner celebrations and whatever else. She must always kiss their boo-boos, call them all sorts of endearments except their given names, just basically mollycuddle them every single tiny inching step of the bloody way.
I’m just saying, if I had kids, I’d like for them to experience some life-edge sort of things. They can walk around in the garden barefoot. They can play with water. I’m not going to lie to them about anything.
My aunt wants to protect her sons so much that it…interferes more than it should. I want to detail some more but it’s late, I’m tired and this entry is taking too long.
