Anyone want to adopt a 6-year-old for the summer?

Discounting that, a baby-sitter? Mama has to work and the little one prefers tearing his room apart, it seems.

Yeah, they do that. Keeps going a real long time, family told me.

You might not want to go telling people you've got a kid home, honey. Folks on here aren't always nice. Some of them are sour, some of them are just damn evil. Babysitting's something you want a background check and good references for, not some magical shit that has doors opening and closing on their account.

He's getting towards that point where he doesn't like to listen to a word I have to say. I think school made him too independent!

Yeah, I know. His daddy's one of the bad ones, and I'm still not sure that he's here or not. Might be trying to tempt him out or something. And if I did find someone on here to sit him, I'd be sure to check them out. But seriously - thanks for the advice. Sounds like you have one of your own?

They're supposed to get independent eventually. Otherwise life really knocks them for six.

Might be, or are? And what do you plan to do if you do? Because unless you've got someone standing at your back who has a plan on what to do if his daddy shows up and wants to know where his kid is and get involved, you're screwing yourself over, and your kid. It's not something to go jumping into on a whim. If he's real bad, not something to jump in on ever, unless you've got a way to go disappearing. And it might be hard to look anyone here up legit, given the hotel makes up our lives half the time.

Yeah.

Part of me just wishes he'd stay real small so I can keep him here with me, y'know?

Okay, I am. But I'm beginning to think that he's not here, which is probably for the better. And I've my brothers around, and no one but family knows what door I'm staying in. I've been extremely careful to keep that under-wraps. Though I should probably be more careful, now that you say those things.

Thanks.

You have them here with you?

	Gotta grow up some time. But why? You need something from him? Why kick a sleeping dog if you can just step the hell over, is what I'm getting at. And why risk it, talking about your son right on out in the open? Stick to leaning on family for that babysitting, honey. Family's mostly reliable. Strangers aren't. No. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, I know. I know. [...] I guess I'd just feel safer knowing if he was here or not. Or if I need to continue looking over my shoulder for him. Right now, I just worry, and it'd be nice to know if there was something I actually needed to be worrying about, if that makes sense. [...] I'm sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I got crazy hours, but I can put you in touch with the sitter I got for Teresa, vetted through NYPD. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	What hours you working? If I'm around, I can do it, as long as you know sometimes I get called in and I gotta get the kids to someone else. Things are good. You? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Same lock simple_life 2015-06-16 07:19 pm UTC (link)
	All hours, honestly. I pretty much make my own hours as needed, but if my on duty manager calls out, I gotta be able to fill in. But I'd trust you. And you know I'd always repay the favor when I can. Surprisingly good. Busy as hell, but it's good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
