So I've been working up a real bad mood today. Don't know if it's hormones, nicotine withdrawal, just plain fed up, or a combination. I babysit for a living right now and I have the little girl Mon through Fri during the day. I also have her Wed and Thurs evenings til 10 and overnight on Thurs. Is it just me or do I have her an aweful lot? I'm so tired of feeling like I'm taking her mom's place. I understand that her mom works two jobs and give her alot of credit for it. It just feels like I don't have time to myself. This weekend, I will be around them all weekend and I feel like I'm bout to rip my hair out. I just want some more time to myself before I have my baby. I started looking for a another job and every time that I mention it, I feel guilty. Her mom keeps asking if she needs to find another babysitter and are you going to keep watching her. Which I understand she needs to know but at the same time, I don't want to do this for the rest of my life. I feel pigeon-holed. I had brought up the fact that I might have found a new apartment in the same area and her mom said "O cool. So when she goes to school you will be in the same school district." I got the impression that she wanted me to continue babysitting for two and a half for more years until the little girl went to school. I only make $360 a month watching her daughter and I can't  live off that for that long. I want out of this but want to help my friend out too. I'm at the end of rope though.
