I have decided that I am not going to continue working for and living with this family here in Spalding. I have been having a really difficult time here. The children are very poorly behaved and the parents are very busy and stressed out. I thought for a while that it was okay and that maybe I could help them to sort things out and get their kids on track but I've since changed my mind. I try to keep my blog pretty upbeat so if you want the depressing details, you'll have to e-mail me or find me on skype or something. Basically, I have never been treated like this before and even though I have babysat difficult kids before, it's never been this bad.
I was so happy in London this weekend that it made me realize how unhappy I am here at the house. When I came back on Sunday I was willing to give them another chance and thought I'd stick it out but within 24 I knew things were bad enough here that I would soon be miserable. I'm not a quiter so please believe me when I say this just isn't a healthy place for me to be. On Monday night I told them I had decided not to stay and I explained exactly why. They needed to know. They were understanding and kind about the whole thing.
I'm in the process of choosing another family to go live with. I'm deciding between two families right now and they both sound wonderful. I want to leave as soon as possible but I will probably stay here in Spalding until the end of the month and start with the new family in the first week of October.
I'll keep you posted.
p.s. if you were thinking about mailing me anything please hold off until I give you my new address. Steven sent me a letter over a week ago and I still haven't received it so I'm not sure how long it really takes and I don't want anything to arrive here after I've left. I do want mail though so if you haven't already thought about that, you really should. I'll write back, I promise.
