I have't done a lot of babysitting but I can tell you this is so true. |

As a babysitter, I can relate.
And she's right. |

^ with how much of a hooffull they were at one month old, I don't even want to think of what they'll be pulling when they're two y/o. |

I've got a headache, running a fever, my sinuses are filled with something I can't even describe,
and it was totally worth it. |

I've babysat my littlest brother since he was an infant, every weekday afternoon, for the past two years.
It's totally worth it, even if he's in a terrible mood some days. As an aside, I fear that I may end up becoming his guardian in the future, I'm almost 20 right now [and I'm the eldest], my dad will be 50 this year, so I figure my parents will probably grow tired of raising him as they age and ask me to take care of him. Of course, I'd do it. Though it still plagues me here in the present, knowing that such a thing could occur. It's made me decide that I do not want to have my own children, at least until my brother is old enough to look after himself. I mean, say I did have my own child ten years from now, and my brother started living with me around the same time, he'd be 12, which means by the time he's 20 my own child would be 8. That twenty-year old bloke he looks upon as an older brother is actually his uncle, and I've been parenting him on behalf of my child's grandparents. If your head isn't hurting yet, then you're probably at least seeing the potential mindscrew that would occur. I'm probably over-reacting, it may not happen, but that doesn't mean I'm not genuinely worried about being an extremely unusual relative in an already dysfunctional family. Would it make people forget that I'm merely a brother and not a fatherly figure? Is it right to take on the task of behaving like a father to your youngest brother? ... And that, fillies and gentlecolts, is a suppressed thought that shouldn't really have been typed up in this comment box. |
