It's awful. Just awful. But I watch it anyway. Not when the fella is around though as he teases me for my tv choices as it is... I think he'd dump me for watching honey boo boo.

As an aside, I also recommend Duck Dynasty for wonderfully funny redneck viewing  

exactly the same here, it's so stupid it becomes funny

It would be my absolute dream job to look after school-aged kids but be paid full-time, have been looking for something like this for months but haven't found anything! I'd love to do the dishwasher, shopping, post office etc. whilst they are at school - am looking after a toddler full time atm and do all this with her around all day but without her would be much easier!

(If anyone has any recommendations in the London UK area please let me know )

I haven't watched this but seen it advertised. Might have to record it now.

I live-in, two school aged girls.

I take them to school for 8.15am and from then until I pick them up I'm pretty much free. I have to a few things such as my charges' laundry and ironing, and change beds once a week. I can do this whenever though, as long as it's done for when the girls need it. I empty the dishwasher and generally tidy up, but no heavy cleaning though, as we have a cleaner.

I also run errands for my boss such as dropping off dry cleaning, and popping to the Post Office - however she always asks like it's a special favour and doesn't expect anything.

My boss is very flexible and is very good about the time during day being 'my time'. I also go for coffee far too often!!!

My last school age kids job I had one child. I was hired as a nanny with some household duties that I was aware of before going to the interview and that were discussed and agreed on at the interview, like grocery shopping, making beds, washing and ironing, and keeping the house generally tidy. These I did not mind doing. If organised enough I managed to get the whole day on Wednesday 'off' between the school runs. That was bliss. What wasn't so lovely was that they tried to slip 'clean the whole house' into the contract. I was not impressed, nor were they when they realised I wasn't about to!! It was a big house, and I wasn't hired to do that .. now if they had of said so at the interview, I may have ..

Today I met another njer for hot choc
Picked up some stuff for tea
Stuck a wash on

Generally I iron a Tues
And do kids beds on a thurs

I am live in to 1 school child.

I work 7.15 - 17.30 but obviously DC is out at school 845-3.15.

During school time I tend to do chores - Monday I do a big clean of charges room, sort toys, change beds, hoover etc, then throughout the week I do chores as they need doing - washing/ironing/hoovering, I also do batch cooking of meals so that when I get DC back I get to play with him rather than be busy cooking.

I also wait in for deliveries and repairmen as and when and run errands; pick up gifts for parties, take items to the post office etc.

However it doesn't take up all my time so I also do my own stuff; I am at uni so I can do research, write essays, I also go to the gym [not as often as I should], meet up with friends for coffee [far too often] and because my job isn't conventional, my boss doesn't mind - as long as the house is tidy at the end of the day I can do what I like

I am still laughing about Elvis and Santa Claus 

I've seen the whole series since i was in America when it aired over there. My friend insisted that i absolutely HAD to see it. Its so awful, but i guess all trash tv is but at the same time you really cant not watch it.
