As much as we love our babysitter that had been with us for 4.5 yrs.. it can be really disrupting when you are expecting her.. and her mother calls 40mins before she is due to show up. The brat had been waiting for her the whole day.. to show her stuff that she learned in school and her new books, so she was disappointed. And my hope to get some work done when the sitter came.. at 3.30pm is now no longer possible.
As a working parent, we have a very tight schedule.. and if the sitter isn’t around, one of us gotta stop doing stuff.. and be with her. And when I go home with her.. i cook and feed her dinner.. and then get the bath ready .. so that PB can come home and bathe her. And nope.. we stay with her.. chat with her.. read to her.. and you know do stuff and pretty can’t do anything else. As I’m writing right now, PB had taken her out for a walk, which we promised when the sitter arrived.
Plus when the sitter is around, we try to go run some errands, but like today, we have to shelf that too. So yes.. !! it is darn disrupting.. but what can you do right..?? she fell down the stairs ..and hurt herself. How the sitter manages to get into these accidents .. well.. lets say.. your guess is as good as mine..* roll eyes* .. Poor kid..!! but still darn disrupting lor..!!! so yes.. i’m just glad Chloe is old enough for summer camp at the YMCA this summer.. that way, we don’t have to worry if the sitter cannot come, at least the brat gets to do something and at this age, they have to do stuff, plus we really do not encourage watching so much tv.
PS : And PB can’t sneak home to take a shower now because we had to cook for Chloe this morning.
