I think I now hate children.

I was babysitting two kids and one baby on my street this morning and afternoon while their parents were at work, and they were acting like real brats. I tried to stop the running and screaming and world destruction, and in the end, it ended rather badly. I had to basically lock the kids in their room, and explain what happened when their parents got home.

Thank god these are reasonable parents who were SORRY for what these brats did, and even gave me a $30 tip for what I had to put up with.

I'll skip the part about the peanut butter on the ceiling fan, or the knife in the food processor, or the cat in the toilet, and get to the point which was when I almost Mr. T on their asses.

The boy took a full bottle of his mother's perfume and DUMPED IT ON MY HEAD while I was sitting on the floor trying to calm the little baby girl down because the noise was bothering her. My hair is not only dried out and breaking when the wind blows, but after five showers, a hot oil treatment, and even vinegar and salt to remove the smell and resotre some moisture, IT STILL SMELLS LIKE ROSE PERFUME.

And it's not a gentle smell. If I walk into a room, eyes start watering because it's so strong.

So, CC, how badly has your day seriously sucked?

Thought this topic was going to be about sex.

:( I'm sorry.

Tomorrow, I'll make one just for you.

Today is just full of bad things for a lot of people. D:

My day sucked as well. I only got about 6 hours of sleep because my 8 year old cousin came over and woke me up at noon (I stayed up until 6 A.M) by screaming in my face and replaying my alarm clock over and over again.

Then when I got up I asked my brother where my mom was. Apparently, while helping to move my uncle, she somehow got a needle stuck in her arm. I was still half asleep when he told me about it, but I guess something was in the needle so she had to go to the hospital and get it checked out. I'm still not sure if she's okay or not, the hospital called but my brother answered it and kept saying, "Okay," a lot then after that he went to sleep at 3 P.M.

I want today to be over already. x_x

Aww that sucks D: I dont babysit anymore, kids are just too much trouble

I hate babysitting.

Kids somehow think I'm one of their own, and swarm me. LIES! I AM NOT 4'8"!

Uck. I'd try not taking a shower for a while, actually. See if your natural oils can overcome the perfume scent.

My day hasn't sucked. I had the day off :D

At least it wasn't wee or something else really nasty although rose perfume doesn't sound that great.

What sucks is that I was hoping to go for a swim. Assuming there's still crap in my hair, I don't want to grease the pool filter up.

Though I could stick my head in a bucket of chlorine...

that sucks.

i went for a two mile jog this morning after biking to the beach (another 2 miles there and back) which i never do but i went becaUSE MY FAMILY DRIVES ME NUTS.

ya and my nana is ragging on my mother about my brother. same old family shit.

i hate my family. plus i have to go to Massachussetts to visit my uncle's girlfriend (who i do actually like) but i have to go with my grandmother and mom, and sis and bro so ya.

i hate my family

My God those are some misbehaved kids. I've had to babysit my cousins before who aren't exactly angels, but they were nowhere near that bad. One of them has pissed on the floor before (several times, actually--and he was four or five at the time) but thankfully not when I was babysitting him.

My day was okay. Nothing really happened.

Well, at least it's not a bad smell... I'm not helping, am I? I usually like children, unless they're being horrible brats like that. Sorry about your horrible day. :(

Oh god, I know it could be a lot worse. I'm glad it wasn't something like an 'exotic' smell that reall just smells like ass.

Hmm...at least he didn't vomit in your hair. :D That would be horrible.

i think the things with is kids is you cant make it obvious, or make it so that they know youre in charge of them, you know?

children are ~~~free spirits~~~~ so i figure that when their parents tell them theyre being babysitted, or "so and so is in charge" they feel trapped and idk, probably make more of a problem than they would normally.

i think parents of kids who are known to do things like that should put boundaries, like, No going into the parent's room while we're gone, Only use the hall bathroom and make sure the sitter knows where you are etc etc.

i'm sorry that happened to you though :> maybe next time you can try to engage them in a board game or something?! : D that way if another baby starts crying, you can say "keep taking your turns and i'll be right back" or something idk

lol i'm sorry i just like kids and don't want you to hate them.

Not as bad as yours.

You need some serious moisturising hair mask.

try washing your hair with a can of beer -- not only will it make it shine, but it might help get rid of the smell

other than that, all i can say is your gona have to wait the smell out!

That's brutal.

Sometimes I think punting children should be legal.

I've been babysitting for four years. I know what to do with kids. :/

I attempted to get them to engage in some type of activity, but they insisted on running around and being little shits.

You would, stijn, you would. XD

Anyway, I can understand how babysitting is, luckily I babysit with my BFF, and we're the perfect team!! but, it doesn't always work out. D:

I remember once There were two kids, boys, and we decided, there are two of us, and two of them, so we both chose a kid to get and calm down. Well...my kid ended up with his head caught between the bars holding up the stair railing, and my friend's kid locked herself in the bathroom! DX

I hope my story made you laugh, and I hope tomorrow is better for you!

Would tomato juice work? Even though it's only been known to cure the smell of skunk spray.. But it's worth a try! Well, if you try it, and it works, lemme know! xD Sorry about your horrible day..

Kids can be a real pain. I should know, I babysit three rambunctious boys!

Lets say their names are:

Jimmy - 7 yrs. Joe - 4 yrs. Jerry - 2 yrs.

Jimmy and Joe always fight, and Joe and Jerry always fight. This would probably go into effect at least every half-hour. And then, I have to go in and break it up. After that, there's screaming and crying T_T It's a hassle.

:c my day stunk because i found out i was terminal with an illness, which makes me go 'rarar' all over.

and some kids seriously just need to be taught a lesson sometimes :CCC hopefully they'll righten out sometime in the future, ja?
