Every Mother’s Dreaded Responsibility: The New Babysitter Interviews
2009 – 2:43 am
Though I loved my previous babysitter A: She was WAY too expensive (I know that sounds awful because she’s taking care of the most important people, blah, blah, you don’t know how much she charges!) and B: She works 2 jobs and is rarely available unless planned weeks, or even months, in advance. So in order to save my pathetic excuse for adult time I decided it was time to find a new sitter. A process that should be easy and simple right… WRONG!
After sifting through numerous ridiculous responses to my ad for a sitter; there was the 60 something year old lady that never had children and now wished she had, so makes up for it by babysitting = instant flashes of “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead”. The 16 year old girl that has a little brother (that’s a year younger than her) so knows all about kids and can definitely handle 3 boys, and is available 1 of the 3 nights I need to work? And the woman who doesn’t speak any English so she had her husband respond to my ad, as well as ask if he could stay to translate to the kids for her until they went to bed… Seriously?
So now here I am with a week full of interviews with the ones who managed to come across as “normal” via email and I am NOT looking forward to it. The awkward silence and simply bizarre act of sitting down with a complete stranger and trusting their word they are good enough to care for your children. Not to mention the interview process itself, what do you ask them? “Hi are you an awful human being that is going to lock my child in a closet if he misbehaves?” And on the chance the person sitting on your couch, sipping on some random drink because it seemed rude to say no, says “Yes, yes I will lock your child up, I may starve him also.” Then what, now you have a psycho in your home, so just no loud sounds or sudden movements, do not disturb the crazy person.
Realistically these interviews never turn out that bad I suppose, at least I have yet to have that deranged person on the other end of the interview, then it makes me think what are they thinking?
I have 3 boys, my house is a zoo… they probably think I’m crazy to even try to ask someone to watch these kids, they are not bad, but any mom of THREE boys can understand! Then again, it could be a good thing, help them understand why I need a sitter and some “me” time (which actually consists of me working, but hey I’ll take what I can get, drunks can be fun to watch!)
So in essence the week ahead will be spent worrying that either they are not crazy or making them believe we are not crazy. And hopefully, in turn, finding some un-crazy person who thinks I’m somewhat sane, in which to entrust the most precious things in the world to me and hope that they will treat them as the most precious things in the world to them, for some extra spending money. All in all, it does not sound fun, wish me luck, I’ll need it!
My Maxey
2009 – 3:07 pm
For those of you that know me, you know that I have a very dear place in my heart for bulldogs. For those of you just getting to know me….let me introduce you to Max.
I was in my early 20’s, living alone and I decided I needed a companion. I had my heart set on a MinPin. So, I started going to dog shows to learn more about the breed. Turns out that they are a little high maintenance for me. But as I was standing at the dog show, talking to a handler, in walked the non sporting group. It was just like in a movie. Everything was in slow motion. The lights dimmed, theme music started playing, the angels sang…and in trotted a bulldog. His giant chest swayed from side to side as he proudly walked next to his human. His jowls flapped against his beautiful face. His head was held high and dignified. And that’s when I fell in love.
I promptly did all my research and learned that he was the perfect dog for me. Didn’t need much activity. Tenacious. Loyal.
My search didn’t take that long. On the 4th breeder. I found him. My Max. Maxwell Grayson Furtwangler, to be exact. And our journey began…
Max went every where with me. He was in parades. He went in the pits of pro moto cross races, he went backstage at rock concerts. I’m not sure he knew he was a canine. He just thought he was my baby. He slept in my bed in between my legs. He rode shotgun where ever I went. He was allowed in stores (that he shouldn’t have been allowed in). Everybody who meet Max fell in love. He was that special.
As time went on, I started dating and eventually started a family. Max knew as soon as I was pregnant that something was different about mommy. He became even more protective, in a very subtle way. He never barked or growled. He would simple sit right next to me. Every place I went.
When Keegan was born, Max was a proud big brother. He was never found more than a couple feet away from him. He would lay by his little brother all day. And promptly took the role as guardian in Keegan’s room as he slept.
Max was gentle and patient as his new playmate learned about his surroundings, by poking Max in the face, to stand up, using Max as a step stool, and to walk, using Max as a scooter. Eventually, Max took on the role as horse and then his favorite…fetch! Or as any bulldog owner might know, Keegan would throw the stick and Max would walk over to it and grunt.
Then came Skyler, my daughter. Max jumped right back into big brother mode. He now started laying next to her. Sleeping in her room. And letting her explore and learn under his watchful eye.
We were now a perfect family. The kids, Max and I would go on family vacations, play in the yard, go for walks, go to the park (Maxey loved going down slides).
It’s been almost a year now that Maxey has been gone. And just like I explained to the kids… Maxey is sitting on a cloud above us, with beautiful glittery wings, not in any pain, eating T- Bone steaks, still protecting us. Still watching over us. Still loving us unconditionally.
