Thanks for explaining your issues on babysitting. Unfortunately there are a lot of those type of “Desperate Housewives” types around my area but fortunately for me I babysat a fairly down to earth family. Whilst there kids did have loads of goodies, the child was welcoming and listened to everything I said.

Its sad that parents these days seem to have less time to bring up their kids and maybe this is why (especially in the UK) we’re seeing a rise in anti-social behaviour. And the problem isn’t getting any better…there’s not much we can do other than set examples to future children we may have so as to influence others.

Thanks again for your reasoning and good luck with the blog!
