why nannying sucks =P
I have the most interesting job. Yesterday the lady who I am nannying for (who broke her foot, which is why i'm her nanny), wore skintight, stretchy, white pants. today she wore extremely short shorts. Heh heh. I'm so daggy in comparison :D
Her and her husband got married at Graceland in Las Vegas, although not by Elvis, cos he only does renewals apparently.
Today the three girls were like little terrors from the pit of doom... and they bit, hit, slapped, kicked, said 'i hate you', and called each other 'bitch'. Did i mention the oldest is 4 1/2 and the next is 3.
They live in south brighton and the mum drives to riccarton twice a week for gymbaroo (a gym programme for toddlers), and then she decided she wanted to go to briscoes, so she stops outside coffee culture, in the middle of the road, sticks the hazard lights on, and gets out, saying 'you'll drive, wont you, Michelle'. Its a 7 seater, automatic, column shift beast of a car, and i can't even reach the pedal, and she says "um, are you going? there are heaps of cars waiting behind you"... so off I go... around the riccarton mall block about 6 times. Heh. Oh the 'excitement', lol.
okay, that'll do for now ... i'm tired!!!

man that sounds SO intense!Those girls seem a bit young to be yelling, screaming, kicking, biting eachother.
That whole sticking your fist in their mouth thing sounds quite fun.
Kids are interesting people. Sometimes their behaviour is a reflection of their upbringing or something significant that's happened. Kids are so spongey.
I don't even understand how the Super Nanny lady on TV does it.
Hope like mad that all goes well from here dude :)
Sounds like another typical case of, "We're so wealthy, we don't need to bother raising our children by disciplining them or actually having anything to do with them"
*sigh* hope things are going OK for you and you're not drowning in despair of doomness and such. Kids can be awful, sometimes :(
Hope things get a bit better for you. Do you get weekends off?
I work Saturday til 2, but i get all of Sunday off... yay!!
I've been trying to praise them for all the things they do well... which is hard sometimes, but i guess kids need to feel valued. Its very hard working in with someone's parenting style that you dont really agree with, though.
Anyways, thanks for the advice - much appreciated =)
And, Christina, you're kinda right... they're definately 'we're wealthy and our kids need this, that, and the next thing, plus they can have whatever they want cos it will make them love us more' but they aren't hands off, they're more like the soccer mum style - where the kids do gymbaroo, gymnastics, swimming, netball etc, and the mum does tapdancing, aquajogging, netball, and ten thousand other things. They pour so much energy into making their kids better than what they could be that they actually make them worse than what they could be...
