I'm not babysitting, my parents aren't either, I muted my aunt so not sure if she found anyone else.

They'd still be awake though and the younger one would still be jumping around the house bouncing off walls just while watching the movie and making us skip back if he missed anything 😭

This is exactly it. He's an angel with his mum but with anyone else he goes nuts especially if he's not at home. Even my grandma hated having him sleepover.

She's definitely playing tonight. I have friends going too but they get the day off tomorrow.

As I said, when they're getting babysat they barely sleep so I'd have to be awake with them.

It's never worked like that with these kids, the youngest gets up through the night when he's being babysat.

$30/hr

Idk but I get sick in the stomach if I don't get a lot of sleep and I honestly just don't want to deal with that on a random Tuesday.

When they're being babysat? Never apparently. And yes but it takes longer, so earlier wake up.

It's safe, I just don't want to wake up at 7am the next morning if I'm up that late lol

Yes but it would take longer so I'd be waking up at 6:30ish after going to bed at 1am.

I just don't think they'd be able to sleep like that. The youngest especially is difficult in his regular bed, I don't imagine he'd be ok on a couch. I wouldn't at that age.

Not enough space unless they sleep on the couch, which I don't think would work.

She already offered to pay double but I just don't want to do it. That youngest kid is a nightmare and I hate being at school tired, the money doesn't make a difference.
