Redzy: I am trying to figure out where you are coming from. Why so much anger? In the posts you sent, you mention that you are tired after a whole day of school. Who wouldn’t be? School is your “job”. You have to go to school. How many people can go to another job after they came home from their main job. Not a lot. You have to really enjoy doing it and wanting to do it. Why do you need to babysit? Also, it seems like it REALLY bothers you that people are begging. Why do you have to say yes? You need to learn to say no. Nicely and respectfully. No. Very simple. The more you’ll say it, the more you will feel comfortable with yourself. Babysitting is not for everyone. My oldest really did not enjoy it, so she rarely babysat. My second one enjoys it and she often babysat. Also, a good point to remember is that in a way a babysitting job is like a “shidduch”, for a lack of a better word, of a sort. You have to feel comfortable in the house, you have to enjoy the kids and their chochmos. Do it because you really want to, not because someone is begging. Say yes to the people that you feel comfortable working for and say no to the others.
