Hello All, I am counsellor with over 12 years experience specializing in parenting, families, youth and mental health. I answer questions in a blunt and straightforward way so if you are looking for coddling or really touchy feely type advice thats not me I provide real solutions for your problems and concrete suggestions in other words I tell you the plain truth I don't sugarcoat.
I am really worried these days with the easy access to the internet and all the false information that is out there and the fact that people believe it!! So please ask first. I don't claim to have all the answers but I can claim that NOTHING will shock me you can try though :)
I look forward to hearing you thoughts and questions.
advice
ok well i babysit for 8 or more hours i get there at 8 and then leave around 2,3,4,5 and im soooo bored! i dont know what to do like they dont have T.V basically and there computer talk about old no internet im so bored of reading a book and my sister wont let me like listen to her ipod sometimes and im affraid to call ppl you can hardly hear ppl. so what do i do there. the kids dont do ne thing most of the time and well i need to get that ipod next week i can stand it! ne more!!!! oh ya and my b.f is like grounded form the computer so no Iming or w.e
Ok I understand that you are bored and that you are used to having stuff around to distract you like tv etc... but if you are getting paid to babysit then you need to be with the kids at all times. You say they don't do anything but maybe you should plan stuff like taking them to the park or playing outside with them etc... You also shouldn't be listening to an ipod while babysitting how will you hear when something happens to one of the kids. Even playing board games or cards with them will make the time pass more quickly.
I understand that its summer and you want to have fun before school starts and you have to get serious again but if you want to babysit then doing stuff with the kids is the best way to pass the time quickly.
Hope this helps, good luck!
