Anyone here babysit???I usually just babysit for my younger brother but the first time last night i babysat for two other kids 7&9 along with my brother who is 6.They were really wild they were beating each other up with pillows for the first hour i tried to stop them but they wouldn't.And then i got them to eat ice cream,so i went in the bathroom for like one minute but they were trying to pull each other's heads off...and then they went to the bathroom door and started banging up against it and trying to turn the knob.Then when i got out of the bathroom they started jumping on me for about an hour one was on back,one was hanging on my legs,and the other one was hitting me with a pillow and his hand.I started yelling but they would not stop.It was hell!Then we decided to play a game.We all went downstairs but then they all three ran up the stairs and locked me out of the upstairs...i was there for like 10 minutes.We played Monolply for 5 minutes before they got bored and started throwing all the pieces everywhere.Then the other two kids started looking at my brother funny or something and my brother started screaming(he can scream VERY LOUD)
and then we went back downstairs and this time the 9 year old locked me out of the top floor along with my brother and the 7 year old.I finally calmed them down after like 5 hours where the girl was doing my hair and the boys were playing video games and then watched Jurassic Park.What did i do wrong???What can i do to control them better???(Hey at least i got $30 out of this!)

Well personally I think you should baby-sit for some other kids!! I think that must have been worth the £30 though!

I might babysit for some other kids but i don't know if i should say yes.I'm wondering if all kids are like that!

When screamy babies wake up while I'm baby-sitting, I put on the Titanic soundtrack (on the peaceful ones), and sing along with the ohh and ahhs. I works really well!

I dunno about older ones. I suppose just threaten that you'll tell their parents if they don't get up to bed straight away.

Hope this helps. Luv Sophie

ps Think yourself lucky - I get £10 for a night of babysitting 5 children!!
