Teen-Sitting
As I mentioned yesterday I'm teen-sitting until Thursday. They really only need me to spend the night, make sure said teens are not having premarital sex or smoking dope, and to see that they get out of the house on time for school. I was a little worried yesterday because having been a teen once myself, I know how miserable their lives are, and how much they want to lash out about it. My concerns were all put to ease once I, Mary Poppins Extrodinare, arrived to the teen home.The teens are 13 and 17. They are the product of a single parent home which makes them pretty darn independent, I must say. The 17 year old girl is really the head of household. She made me feel unneeded, unwanted, and ultimately unnecessary. This uber-responsible "child" picked up dinner last night, woke me up for work on time, brought me coffee in the morning, and even carried up my luggage! What?! It was insane. Said boy-teen didn't do anything but sit in the basement and surf the internet. Easy! I love teen-sitting now but I sort of feel like I should give the $150.00 to the 17 year old uber-teen for all the hard work she's done.
This teen sitting has made me even more ready to have babies. I want to raise little teen slaves too. Just imagine what I could get my kids to do: paint my toe nails, cook breakfast, mow the lawn, wash my car, grocery shop, and sew me a whole wardrobe of fine clothing! SCORE!

Well if you have any extra teens, I have plenty of chores that need to get finished over here.

Too bad kids can't be born at like, the age of 6 or 7 and be completely autonomous and ready to perform household chores. :)
Holly (my best friend) is having a baby in July. We've already had discussions on how to raise our teen slave to be just as UBER-helpful. Why didn't I have a teen earlier???
I think the said uber-teens are freaks of nature . . . do you remember being more of a help or more of a pain to your mother?
But I wasn't the product of a sigle parent home. My Mom did everything. I still can't cook or make my bed!
That's true. Do they have a school I can enroll Gabby in. She's just barely learning to wash her pits on her own.
