you should move to Gisborne as I'm looking for a reliable babysitter when we move. We'll have family there, but to tell the truth, I want someone RELIABLE and family isn't always. That and I want to be able to tell them what to do, i.e jake's bedtime at 7, without them making their own decisions - jake can stay up later for a "treat"

doent that just drive you barmy when family and friends ignore what you say!!! I have a friend god bless her loving soul that always turns up will junk food for the boys and she knows im really particular about what they get but she sneaks it to them. All good for her when she can leave and im left with sugar hyped kids. Also her daughter is very overweight which makes me more aware of what they eat. Anyway just getting a maon in there lol

What is it about family hyping kids up on lollies? Honestly, I almost throttled Andy's mother over Christmas, Quinn does not NEED those super-dooper lollies dipped in sugar?!! He gets excited with crackers!! I never realised that the saying "bouncing off the walls" was not just someone exaggerating, it can really happen!!

I have a stash of lollipops that jake is ALWAYS being given. He isn't even that keen on them, although stole one from my bag the other day and loved it - think it was more the fact he knew he wasn't meant to have it, than the actual taste.
Mine and Lewis' dads are always sneaking them things....coke, eskimos, bikkies....

I've decided after the amount of crap Hannah has eaten over christmas that we are going back to healthy eating. No more biscuits. Crackers instead.
No lollies. Fruit instead.
Poor kid.

Jake actually prefers fruit to lollies. He is always asking for bananas...well, pointing at them and grunting expectantly anyway.

I'm afraid I'm a bit far away to give you any business, and bubba isn't even here yet LOL Best of luck though,I used to do a lot of babysitting when I was younger and it was quite good once I got regular clients.
However, what caught me was the o/t bit about sugar - I really don't want to even start feeding my child all sorts of artificial sugar, and am going to have to sit down at some stage and plan out how to work this into the grand scheme of things. This means next to no lollies, no fizzies - ick, and bikkies only on a special occasion. Anyway, we shall see exactly how far I get once bub actually arrives - I could have my head stuck in the clouds a bit at the moment !!

i didnt let the boys have junk food until they were around one - they had a blast at their 1st birthday with all the junk food although in saying that they mainly sat round the cheerios and munched. I know they arent the best either but better than a heap of lollies. And ppl cant believe that the boys have only been to McDonalds 3 times and the last time was in oct for their 2nd birthday. Most of my friends kids have a million McDs toys (ok not quite a million....but pretty close!!!) As for biscuits the boys get the good old plain ones super wines and the like which they prefer to fancy biscuits unless of cse they have chocolate on them!!!! Also on the rare occasion the get fizzy it is sooooooo watered down its no longer fizzy... i think they just like the fact its coming out of the same bottle that every1 else is getting a drink from.
But i have to say my major pet hate is LOLLYPOPS!!!!! I hate them with a vengence!!!!

Ella ate quite a few chocolates and other bits and pieces this Christmas but she usually eats very well and I never serve her unhealthy things for meals.
Yuk I hope to keep her away from McDees as long as possible, we never eat there and hopefully she won't either!! See Supersize me :P But I haven't liked it since I found out a few years ago that they use (well used) chicken fat in their icecream!!

Hey Jess - good luck finding some babysitting work Sorry i not in Hamilton either.
Funny you guys talking about sugary food cos I said to Daniel today I am so going to watch what junk food Hannah eats. We went away with friends this weekend and their 3 year just wouldnt go to bed last night until like 9.30 cos he had had fizzy and lollies etc. Argh, dont want that to happen. We'll see....!

I find as a mother that it is pretty easy to not feed Hannah junk food etc. I feel guilty when she has anything even remotely unhealthy.
My main thing at the moment is not giving Hannah juice. She has water and that's it. I babysat a friend's kid once who wouldn't touch water and would only drink juice. I don't think I could stand the hassle of having juice in the house all the time!!! Much easier when you can get it straight out of the tap
I'm also concerned about Hannah's teeth. They are so beautiful and white and perfect that I don't want to ruin them!!!
But yeah, it's other people feeding your child lollies etc that you have to worry about.
Although actually I may have to revise my position on this as Hannah has started getting very vocal whenever she sees something with a colourful shiny packet. If she is packing tantys now I can't wait until she's two!!!
