I don't want to babysit

Stone · 07-26-2005, 09:35 AM

My babysitter keeps calling me EVERYDAY! and asks if her kids can sleep over. I don't want them to, my house is way to small for another 2 kids plus I have a newborn dammit.

How do I politley tell them NO, one of the kids put me on the spot last week and asked if he could sleep over and I said maby next week... it's next week and they call every day

Stone, I would just tell them no. You have a new baby in the house, you're tired and you don't need any more kids there. Tell her that you can't entertain kids right now and you need some quiet for the baby. If this woman can't understand this, then OMG!!

I woulnd't have the nerve to ask anyone to babysit my kids after they've had a new baby. She's inconsiderate for even suggesting this and letting her kids call you. some people are unbelivable.

Just politely say you can't do it. You've got a newborn there for crying out loud, do you really want to subject her to all the airborn virus' that kids are carrying around? You should be living in a bubble for the first 6 months to a year.

Tell her she can, but they have to feed he baby after 3 AM in the morning, because you want to get some sleep also.

See if they still want to come.

HEather, just say "NO". Not "only this time", or "it's for the last time". Just say "NO". I wouldn't even justify it. Your life, your house.

Good Lord....I always end up with people like that around me too....that's why I prefer internet friends. I make up stuff....like I'm sick.

I Knew I should have answered this post last evening, because I'm sure the dream I had was because I was so affected by your post, Stone!
I kept seeing this little kid in my dream coming over, and I kept sending him home, I swear, I am not making this up!

Please, just say "No"! "Can't"! "Won't" any of those!

So what happened to this situation anyway stone?

Stone · 08-04-2005, 08:45 AM

HAHA I told her I can't babysit anyone right now because I am being investigated by DCF LMAO she will probably never aske me again

Merika · 08-04-2005, 09:26 AM

See....that's a perfect example of taking a bad thing and turning it into something good and useful! HAHA!

what's the DCF? I'd probably tell her something like that too, I hate when people take advantage of my kindness.

Tell her you've been having really horrific dreams and also black out from time to time
