my dad. no matter what women's libbers say, sometimes kids just need to hear a man's voice in order to obey. so since he was three houses away, i called him, and he yelled at them, and it was amazing how quickly they settled down and went to sleep.
i actually had been at the point where i was hoping that one of them would get hurt, because that might make them settle down. i figured my dad coming was a better plan.
it's kind of nice, though. because they were so terrible, i now feel like i have an excuse to say no next time she asks.

Well, that's true. :) Go, your dad! I'm so glad he was there to help!

Go Dad!!

I feel your pain. I babysat a LOT as a teen; I'm pretty sure that has to do with my aversion to having my own kids (until now, yes, please state the obvious). Seriously - one summer I babysat these three monsters every single day. I had to get there EARLY (before 7am), too. And their parents didn't CARE that they were terrible. And they didn't pay me enough. It was a bad summer.

I feel your pain.

i had one horrible job where all i wanted to do was go home. when the mom called and said they'd be two hours late, i cried.
