paying your babysitter

This is just a short vent/rant. I know the person this is aimed at won't ever see this, she probably isn't even smart enough to figure out how to get on a computer in the first place much less find my blog, so here we go...

You can pay your rent

You can pay your electric

You can pay your cable

You can pay your phone

You can pay your truck payment

You can pay your insurance

You can buy yourself all kinds of new pretty stuff all the time

You can buy your kids all kinds of new pretty stuff all the time

You can buy your boyfriend new pretty stuff all the time

You can have money to go out and have a good time

HOWEVER.... I have to track you down and tell you repeatedly that you owe me money for babysitting, I have to tell you repeatedly how much, and your answer is "Oh, I have you money in the bank" My money in your bank doesn't buy my kids what they need, my money in your bank doesn't buy food, my money in your bank doesn't pay my bills, my money should be in my hand.

I am here every morning for your daughter to be dropped off to, and when she doesn't show up, you never bother to let me know she isn't coming, so I just sit here waiting. I am always here, realibly, always. All my other parents pay me as soon as they get paid, but YOU don't... What would happen if you didn't pay your electric? It would get shut off... rent? You wouldn't have a place to live. So... You say you are getting paid on the 26th? I gave you a bill a week ago, that one was for the previous two weeks (cause you said you get paid every two weeks), but you didn't pay me, now that school is out and you don't need me for the next two weeks I gave you a bill for this past week, now you say that you don't get paid till the 26th? Why didn't you pay me last week then??? WTF??? So... When you pay me on the 26th I am done... you can find a new sitter, I am done with the agrivation, I am done with trying to hunt you down, I am done with you having your older daughter drop your younger daughter off to me, I am done with you having your older daughter answer the door and saying that you arent home YOUR FUCKING TRUCK IS PARKED IN FRONT OF MY APARTMENT!!! I am done with you not paying me in a timely manner, and after I get my money you will then be told that you can find a new sitter, you will have an entire week to do it, and I really don't care after that... I am soooo done with this...
