So one of our friends had been babysitting my kids for me for the summer.
Well, She doesn't have a car, so I would go pick her up every morning and drop her off in the evening.
Granted, she was only asking for $40/week because really all she had to do is make sure they didn't do anything they're not supposed to do and make sure they do thier chores.
They're almost 7 and 11 so it's not complicated to watch them. Justice would make Deacon's lunch and such like that. (I.E PB&J) It's not like she was changing diapers
Anyways, She's only watched them a total of 4½ days in the last 3 weeks.
During those days my neighbor who is a good friend of mine, said the kids were at her house alot.
Pretty much as soon as I left for work, the babysitter would send them outside.
That doesn't bother me... at all.. They're kids and should be outside playing.
What bothers me is there were a couple days when the boys were grounded and they weren't supposed to be outside.
I was told by another neighbor that within minutes of me being gone, the babysitter's boyfriend or friend who is only 17 would show up and hang out.
This upsets me for 2 reasons:
1. She is a 40yr old woman and her "boyfriend" is her ex husband whom used to abuse her
2. I specifically told her I didn't want anyone but her in the house when I was gone.
3. I was told that the 17yr old was at my house DRINKING too!
I also found out from my oldest son that the sitter and her boyfriend would constantly fall asleep while watching the kids.. come to find out, they were taking pills!!!!
Well, the day my mom had surgery the sitter watched the boys.
When we came home from the hospital Brandon and I decided to take a nap.
When we woke up the 17yr old friend was there and I had $40 missing out of my purse!
She didn't even ask if she could come over... I didn't even know the girl!
So Brandon told her we didn't want anyone in the house but her and no one is to be in our bedroom....once again.
Well, when I got off work yesterday I intentionally didn't call or text her to let her know I was coming home.
When I got there, her "boyfriend" was in MY bedroom on MY computer and she was asleep in the chair while Deacon was outside playing in the rain!!!
She woke up and asked if I had her money. I told her I hadn't got paid yet (yes, I know.. A lie.... but I wanted to talk to Brandon about it first)
Ok, to get to the point is now she is asking for $70 for watching the kids for 4½ days of babysitting after me also buying her a soda or cigarettes almost everyday on my way home from work. Plus, running her to the store and here and there everyday.
And she tells me she needs the money because she is leaving for Kentucky next Thursday because her "boyfriend" can't find work down here.
I was planning on not having her watch the kids next week anyways because of all that's happened but it makes me angry that she didn't even tell me she was moving!
I mean, what if I did need her to babysit? She's giving me less then a week to find someone else to watch the boys!
So do I pay her the $36.00 and be done with it? Or do I tell her to forget it?
Sorry.... I had to rant..I am sooooooooo mad
