I live in a small town. I am thinking about getting a bicycle and maybe getting a cart of some kind to pull?

gee-geeofm

behind or something and just start going everywhere on it. Where we live we are close to the store, the bank, and even the dr.'s office. I can get everythink i need right here. My husband was laughing at me and said i would look crazy. Why don't more people do this in small towns? I know it is common in big cities.

Answer
Sure. But dont buy your bike at Target or Wal-Mart or something like that.. look into Raleigh and Giant, even Mongoose. Get a good mountain style bike with a nice squishy seat (you can buy a different one and put it on yourself if you have to) with Shimano gears and brakes. Some bikes come with shimano gears. As for the cart? I would get the most logical product, the kiddy seats. Theres a little bike made of a sturdy frame and tent-like material thats seats two kids. Its enclosed and I think you can zipper the whole thing closed, that might be ideal for putting a small lock on, and packing with groceries. If you are going to sometimes put a heavy load in there.. I would get the mountain bike with the 21 speed gears.

I am starting a babysitting service Thursday night, how do i handle the kids, there is 6 of them.?

Get's in T

Well, i am in need of cash. My mom is getting mad that she's buying her own Christmas present, so now i have to pay. I am getting this job, where i have to babysit for an 6 hrs and get payed 50 bucks, per person. So, these kids are hard to handle, and i am signed up for every other day this week.
The ages of the kids are 2, 3,4, 5, 7, 10. Here is what it's like--

Ty- 2 years, pees on me when i am changing his diaper. He laughs about it too. When he is down for a nap, he takes his diaper off, poops in his hand, and smears the poop on the wall. He gets up to pee on the wall. He also hits and yells, and repeats what i say, including "idiot, *ss, and doesn't share.
Teddy-- 3 yrs, Hits, screams, kicks, whines, dumps food on his head, splashes his sippy cup, he is potty training, so when i am doing something else, he goes behind the couch, takes off his clothes, throws them behind the TV, and pees sitting on the couch.

Trinity-- 4 years, she hates me putting her into a diaper for naps, she is ALMOST potty trained and i am told to do so. She kicks me and throws ornaments at me when i say Trinity, let's go! She hits her little brothers, and throws the food i give her at Ty.

Charles and Franky--- 5,7. Hate each other, they fights, kick pull hair, throw toys, fight over who goes out the door first. Usually Charles gets a bloody nose because of Franky. They put spaggetti down pants, pour apple juice on heads, and push each others bikes over when they are riding them.

Peter--- 10. causes as much trouble as possible. He turns on every sink and light in the house, pours all the juices all over the floor, takes his brother toys, ring the door bell and run, hide my phone, plays baseball in the house, hides his brother downstairs, and locks him down there.

PLEASE HELP< I AM ONLY 13!!!

Seat them in the living room and very firmly tell them, "I have something really awesome planned for today, but I am not going to tolerate ANY misbehavior. If you cause trouble more than once today, you are going up to your room and staying there, end of story." Make sure they understand this, and if any misbehavior is caused, then send them to their rooms for a time-out. If that's not working, then make all of the kids just sit in the living room with you and think about why they aren't getting to play.

You might also want to invite a friend over to help, because those are a heck of a lot of kids you need to watch and they don't sound like little angels. I'm actually really surprised you were hired; a responsible parent would've hired 2 sitters just to help keep the kids in check. Is something going on with the family that makes the kids brats? It's a disturbing if that all of the kids are troublemakers. Being mischievous is one thing, but locking your brother downstairs or pushing his bike down? Totally different.
