Dom, I missed the emergency room visit if that was in your blog. You are an accomplished babysitter if you practice the sugar feast. Just before the parents pick them up is a good time; the kids will drive the parents nuts by bouncing off the walls when they get home and taking hours to fall asleep. But the kids will love you.

There's one group that gets more out of the sugar high than the typical babysitter. They get even with the parents by giving them a dose of their own medicine. They are grandparents.

Being a grandparent is better than being a parent: You have fun with the grandchildren and then you get to send them home.

I missed the emergency room visit if that was in your blog.

Dom's babysitting 4yo, drops kid in bathtub, kid busts open head, emergency room....

I found the blog, it's tit(t)led Beware of Dom the Babysitter back in Sept 2005 (when Dom used to spell title with 3 Ts).

And regarding Sex in your stories, can I say 'WHOO HOOO!!!!'

A few years ago, a lady in our town who ran a day care got in big trouble.

Two of her workers quit and it was only her and a twenty 2-8 year olds. She took up the slack by slipping them a small dose of valium.

Dopey kids are easier to manage I suppose but, like many seemingly useful and pragmatic work-arounds, turns out to be a felony.

My respects,

James

Lol! Get the kids on a sugar high then hand them back to there parents Dom i like your style!

Hmmm regarding sex in your stories here is a funny story. Christmas time my mothers friend Gail and her stepson gave me and my mom a ride home in their hummer after the christmas party and the whole time in my head i was thinking "Gee Seth and Rory would have had alot of room back here" Clearly i have the weirdest mind lol.

On your comment about pitbulls i totally agree since we have a pitbull in the family my aunts dog. The shit we went through with people over that type of dog. Had to neuture him or be charged $5000 when we walk him we have to muzzle him and a halti. I never take the dog walking and my aunt where she is now has a huge back yard so she just lets the dog run in the backyard and that. It's the owners of the dog and how the raise them that gives everyone else with the normal pitbulls a bad rep. A Damn Pomerian can attack someone too.

Sugaring them up without actual sugar works best. Then the kids and the parents love you. Unless, you hate the parents...

Cutting the sex when it belongs can be just as annoying as shoving it in where it definitely doesn't. Just my opinion. Yours always work for me, though, so *shrug* either way.

And my pit is a saint! Hmmf.

Kids scare the crap out of me, I tend to just do whatever they want so they stay quiet. There is a 'sex scenes in stories' topic in the Forum. We all had fun with that one.

I have a 2 year old pit. He's a very friendly dog (a little overly friendly at times, even though he's neutered *_*). He loves people, even strangers (he does tend to jump up on them in the first introduction), and plays well with other dogs. He's even good with cats, and he loves birds. We have a local flock of them that lives on my roof; they sick around because our dogs have always let them eat from their bowls. He's the smartest dog I've ever owned (he was house trained immediately). He's never hurt another living thing. In comparison, my female beagle (who died at 13 yr) was dog aggressive, had a strong prey drive (killing and eating any birds who weren't vigilante), and could never be house trained completely. Interestingly, she too, was very good with cats; though... I think the reason all my dogs have been so good with cats was because as puppies, when they first met my recently deceased at 14 years cat, he scratched them all right on the nose. They never bothered him, or other neighborhood cats after that initiation.

hi, I just found out you had a forum something. Just wanted to say hi, and that you did a fantastic job on In the fish bowl, I assume that what you were talking about in your post above, besides baby sitting. can`t wait for the next chapter, and about the sex being important in a story, yeah, it`s nice when it`s detailed, but nice as well, when they`re mystery to it. don`t you think?

BIG PS HERE how do you discipline a child without yelling at it, it doesn`t work, plus he`ll never trust you again. I`m thinking of getting a babysitting part time job, and that`s the only thing that`s worrying me at the time. is there more to it? bye take care, Rada.
