When the sibling tells you that they "just want to go out for a change," and that they'll be in by midnight so would you please watch the kids and then "bring me home if I can't drive," should you believe that said sibling will arrive on time or late?

Oh, and I'm sitting up waiting for my sister right now...

Well, I'm not an uncle yet, but I can definately tell your "no, don't believe them, they'll be back late more than likely"

Yea, they'll be home late. If they ask you to bring them home if they can't drive means they'll probably be drunk and lose track of time.

Joy...well you all are right...by at least forty minutes now...maybe I should just get some winks...

don't count on them returning before 4 am ;) I used to pull the same thing, but started understanding I would lose said "babysitter" if I kept it up :D

1:40 AM and counting, but at least I have conversation on the internet now...lol

The kids are easy to watch at this time...they sleep now!

And now she SHOULD be at work...but I don't know because she never came home last night...lol...I'm such a sucker.

You're not worried that she didn't come back?

Of course I was...but I'm the little brother...I don't worry about her so much, because she has always had that "survivor" image to me...but all is okay now, because she came by at about 4 PM and picked up the kids, which proves that she's all right.

I don't need to say what would happen if my sister did that, as I'm sure you already know. ;)
No, friggin' way!

Well, 16hrs late isn't bad.

My brother did the very same thing once, but he was 4days late!

Animal, your brother was 4 days late in picking up his kids? What was he drinking, Drano? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

My sister would never trust me with her kids; she seems to think I'd take them out to the bars or in some other way hopelessly corrupt their poor minds. :D

i'm so sorry ilander. i hate it too, but i don't have neices or nephews close by, just my friend who has been staying with her kids here on and off which i've been stuck with over night a few times, and once her two hours bike ride turned into 5 i think. [img]tongue.gif[/img] i was here during waking hours with 4 kids: 2 toddlers, 1 crawling baby and my infant.

good luck next time, i'd ask for a bigger tip.

Gone days at a time? Dang, what is it about too much alcohol that almost makes people end up on the side of a milk carton? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]
