(On the babysitting vs motherhood thing) Only my "I really just look like that" moment was when I got my totally new look at Aunt Catherine's when she cut my hair and my hair DID look totally different, but alas, my face was JUST the same. So disappointing. I just chopped it shorter than ever before and, same thing, the cut's cute, my face is still there...Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09966076533635667017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869329841369921947.post-10355579950139221492008-10-25T02:46:00.000+02:002008-10-25T02:46:00.000+02:00This was my experience exactly...world's greatest ...This was my experience exactly...world's greatest babysitter...become a worn-out, impatient why-aren't-i-mary-poppins-any-more mother.<BR/><BR/>I think the difference is (drumroll please) babysitters and caregivers get a break.

I babysat, or rather, worked as a zookeeper for years through middle school, but I was so excited for the day I was old enough to drive and have a minimum wage job so I could do something ELSE. Don't get me wrong, I love kids -- I love to PLAY with kids--but don't ask me to discipline anybody else's children. That part I hated.

Though I suppose I can relate - I don't like me in very many pictures, either.<BR/><BR/>By the way, if you were (are!) great with kids, feel free to brag! I was the girl who, if she'd been beaten into submission and was actually babysitting, took a look at a crying baby or toddler and thought, what am I supposed to do with this thing? Heck, sometimes I still feel that way.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18270661693698065581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869329841369921947.post-89992565716690389622008-10-23T17:32:00.000+02:002008-10-23T17:32:00.000+02:00I'm totally onboard with the red nails and lips. ...I'm totally onboard with the red nails and lips.

At least you have that. I babysat a lot but pretty-much hated it, probably because I always got the reprobate kids. You know, the ones that spill bleach on the carpet and paint the walls with Ranch dressing. I must say I like being a mother way more than babysitting! Although I look like you in that picture most of the time.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17162550253703038825noreply@blogger.com
