[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 724042, member: 4152"] - Did you babysit when they were younger? Yes...in retrospect, an interesting story (see below). - Remember how much you got paid (per hour)? 50 cents at first. Went up. - Did you babysit during the day or evening (or both)? Both - Remember how cribs used to have the railing that lowered? Yes - What kind of diapers did you have to change when you babysat? Cloth or disposable (or both)? At the very very beginning for a very short time, cloth. Then disposable. - Did you spank? Never - How old were you when you quit babysitting? 16 - What sorts of things did you buy with your babysitting money? Make up I babysat starting at age 12 or 13. The people next door had two adult kids and now in retrospect, it is extraordinarily interesting. One was an attorney and a very successful big shot in government....he did not live at home. One was a waitress and an unwed mother. She was probably considered "wild," for the time period. However, I don't perceive her as being all that bad at all. She worked full time and lived at home for about two years until she could afford her own place. I babysat whenever she had a date and her parents were out of town or there was some other situation like they were unwell. I babysat regularly during these two years. After that, only now and then. As a side note...I had a relative in personnel at a large company and started working there at that company in the Summers and most Xmas breaks starting at age 15. So, I started to not have time. I did end up buying a car with my saved money. [/QUOTE]
