I've thought about taking in some kids during the day to earn some extra money, and sometimes when things get tight, or when I need extra cash, like now around the holidays, I think about doing it. But honestly it's just not for me.
I'm not really that good with kids, at least not other people's. Some kids I've known are horrible monsters, and I don't tolerate that well. I can tolerate my own children because they know what I expect of them, and they know when they're going to be yelled at. Also I know that I can yell at them. I couldn't yell at another person's child, no matter how much they deserved it.
I tried it on 2 different occasions, and it never worked out. My own kids are enough for me to handle.
Have you ever considered babysitting to earn extra cash? Have you ever tried it?
