Do you find being asked to babysit ,is something you would rather not do?

I don,t mind for short periods of time , but I find when it is an all day and night thing , I don,t handle it like I used to.

I don't even mind babysitting other kids, the gentleman I am seeing has 14 grandkids so I might be pretty busy.lol

wow that's a big family my parents still sit for some of the grandkids. I notice they don't deal with it as well as they used to. No hurry to have grandkids in my case.

Maybe my problem is I don,t do it enough. I am watching my 5month old nephew tomorrow ,and I am a little nervous about it.I never watched him for more than an hour and Thurs. will be all day! I am soooooooo out of practice.

This last year I have found myself more selfish about my time and now I've got a new grandbaby on the way 10 years inbetween wonder how things will be this time :) Last time was first grandbaby so I was really into it. But I do notice I'm less tolerant for long periods of time lol

I work with 400 kids 9 months out of the year! Most times they keep me young. This past week I wasn't so sure.
