My mom calls me Sunday night asking for a favor. She asked if I could babysit on Tuesday for a few hours, 9am-12pm, for her friend. I said sure why not. I get to her house and guess what, it ended up being two 7 year old kids. I thought that my motherly instinct would kick in. It certainly didn't. The whole time the two girls just argued and yelled at each other. I wanted to curl up in a little ball and just ignore them. My mom said that it would be "easy" because they would play with each other and all I would have to do is supervise, make sure no one got hurt, feed them and what not, keep a eye on them pretty much.
Instead all they did was argue, scream, and yell at each other. It was a horrible experience. Babysitting for young spoiled rich kids that are selfish is a experience no one should have to go through. I have babysat for just the one before and that was fine, but put her with another 7 year old is a disaster in the making. I also ended up watching them until 3pm too. I tried so hard to get them to play together and not argue, but somehow they found a way to argue. We watched 2 movies (which they screamed through). Played outside, had a scavenger hunt and searched for secret hide outs. I even played barbie dolls with them. They just didn't get along.
To top it off, I somehow was persuaded to watch three 7 year old kids on Friday. WTF was I thinking!?!?!?! like two wasn't enough?
