I babysat for the first time in my life! I'm 38 and an ex IV coke user. I have NEVER babysat before or even thought someone like me would be a candidate.
To be truthful, I was a 'babysitter assistant'. 'M' was asked by her brother to watch the 5 or 6 year old twins and the 12 or 13 year old daughter. The neighbors asked if we could their two kids as well.
I dunno, it was neat. The kids pretty much took care of themselves and the 12/13 year old daughter (who is extremely intelligent) stepped in to handle the minor issues that occurred.
It was especially nice for me because it gave me a chance to get integrated with 'M's' family. We have all met before but this is different. THIS is a family I can relate to. They are so close and caring. I want to be a part of that. I have never seen this type of closeness before and I want to be good enough to be a part of it.
I think I am. Time and reality will tell.
