My home was regularly full during summer time breaks… Each of my nieces plus nephews would visit because I was the cool aunt plus they all wanted to get away from their parents.
- My siblings plus brothers were blissful for the brak, especially because they knew how responsible I was.
My two kids enjoyed that they could play with their cousins whenever they wanted. I regularly took a three week cut just to entertain the kids plus have fun with them. This one summer time holiday, though, things were a bit tight. My boss refused to give me an entire three week cut since he wanted me to work on a file of new investors. I was the only one capable of handling the file. The kids were disappointed as this meant they would have to spend most of the time indoors. My hubby was also unavailable plus all I could do was get a babysitter to watch them during the morning until I got home from the office. I had regularly assumed that almost everyone could manage teens but how wrong I was. I had three babysitters quitting in a span of a week. The complaint was that they could not manage 7 teens at the same time. It was just too demanding. I sat down with the kids the next morning after the last babysitter quit to find out what the issue was. It turns out that they all wanted to control the Heating as well as A/C system setting. Since they all had weird number one levels of coldess, they never seem to agree on one. And when they were not on the same page, they would get on each other’s nerves, plus eventually scare the sitter. I decided to take charge of the situation. I knew that idleness was also part of the issue. My associate and I went out plus bought several board games. I also asked the Heating as well as A/C serviceman to install a smart thermostat that could regulate while at work. I brought in a new sitter who stayed the whole holiday as the kids settled down finally.
