My boyfreind is going on a business trip the end of March and the girls want me to stay with them, they dont want to stay with mom while dad is away, Dad asked me and I said yes but I'm going to have some rules
What do you think of these rules,
I will cook because I enjoy it,
I wont wash dishes or clean house,
I will just clean up the mess I made while cooking
I will make up the his bed since I will sleeping in it, and clean his bathroom since I will be using it.
I will wake up the girls before I go to work to make sure they are up
I wont feed the animals.
No friends are allowed over unless pre-approved my dad first.
If the little one wants to go to her friends she has to ask dad ahead of time, and she has to call me so I can pick her up, I dont want her walking home by herself
The oldest one drives so she has to make sure she has enough gas money to get back and forth until dad gets back
I will not give girls a ride to moms house, if mom wants to see them than she can pick them up.
Mom wont call me and say she cant bring the girls back home, she will have to keep them for the nite or until she can bring them back because I wont drive to her house to go get them.
If anyone has any input just let me know..

I think rules established ahead of time are a good idea. But i see no reason to punish the poor animals!

I think he should leave them with Mary Poppins. At least she would feed the animals.

If you didn't really want to watch them why not just come out and say that instead of listing all these rules? I certainly wouldn't want you to watch any kids of mine based on those rules!

So you're going to eat there but not do any dishes?

Why starve the animals?
