[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here-

I bought fabric markers. Not paints. very different things. And I don't know how many times I can say that I had zero expectation to be reimbursed the $45.

Honestly, if I sat for someone and they threw a fit over me bringing crafts, I would leave and never babysit for them again. I make sure all my crafts are washable, non toxic, and super easy to clean. I do all the cleanup myself. Every family I work with knows that I do crafts to avoid screens!

Seriously, I do not get being annoyed by this. Would you rather I put your kid in front of the TV and earn $15 an hour doing nothing? [/quote]

Depends on the day.  I have no issue with you putting mine in front of screens and you being there to make sure they just survive as they are in multiple activities plus school and everyone needs downtime.  Screens aren't a bad thing in moderation.  Its great you are doing all that and the kids are enjoying it but every family is different.[/quote]

Your family sounds boring and shitty.[/quote]

How are we shitty or boring?  Our kids aren't home much so if they want some screens after everything else is done, what is the big deal?   Mine are in daily activities with some days having two.  They'd do more if we'd let them.  Everyone needs downtime sometimes.  Clearly you do or you wouldn't be here.[/quote]
