Babysitting Ms. Thang

Here it is 8 p.m. Saturday evening and I've finally found time to blog. You just don't know how much I have missed blogging about nothing at times,and at times,blogging about serious issues.
I don't have any readers yet,but I'm working on it. Man,oh man, have I been working. As you already know,I'm the mother of 5 children and just recently I have started babysitting 3 other children(ages 9,7,&4). I have always wanted to have a daycare business for 11 years now. So, anyway, 3 weeks ago this couple comes upto my front door wanting to know if this was a daycare because 4 of my kids and 3 of my neighbors kids were sitting on my front porch. In my mind,I thought that was hilarous because if you really think about it,how many people actually have 7 kids sitting on their front porch/yard these days. Well, anyway I told them that I've always wanted to have an in home daycare,but my husband was never to fond of the idea. Well, to make a long story short, I've been watching their children,they have been timely on payments,but their 7 year old daughter has some serious issues. Let's see, first off she has major issues with me putting her 4 year old brother in time out. Everytime her little brother hit,spit,threw a toy or did anything bad,she always went behind my back and got him out of time out,or handed him a toy. This was really driving me crazy,so I explained to her that she is not helping her brother at all by doing this. She is only hurting him in the long run. He will only grow up thinking that he can always get what he wants in the world by any means necessary. I hate to say this,but I believe if he had to kill for it he would. Oh! my blood is just boilling thinking about this whole incident. Well, back to the story, the little girl kept getting louder and louder about she wants to call her mother because she couldn't take all of THIS NOISE in the house,and I couldn't handle her little brother. Yeah, there was a lot of Noise in my house,only because you were the loudest person in my house,little girl. I had to tell that little girl,she wasn't running anything up in here...this is my house and you will be following the rules. It's funny that your little brother does fine during the day while you're at school,but when you get here,it's another story. That night(my hrs for sitting are 12:45 p.m.-10:45 p.m. somedays till 11:45 when they work overtime) when their parents came to pick them up,I went straight outside and spoke to her mother about the incident and this little girl had the nerve to say,"she didn't do that." Her mother didn't believe her though and I was glad because we have to many parents out there who believe,not my Kid,my kid doesn't do that,my kid said,she didn't do it. I honestly hope this is the last incident with this little girl,but I have this strange feeling that its not.
