your neighbor has a very unruly child, and breaks everything is sight and scream all the time would you babysit them on an emergency? Now be very honest

I would if it was a true emergency. But some people think it is an emergency that they make it to the club that weekend.

I would but like my own children I will slap that kid upside the head if he misbehaved in my house.I would let his parents know my ground rules before hand though. I have dealt with many kids who are real brats with their parents or others but when with me they are really angelic. I discipline but there is always a reason why they are the way they are.With kids its easier to assimilate what that could be.

Yes I would for two reasons 1.I can't say no 2.I hava lot of experience with children. I have been bitten, spat on, kicked, etc. but by the time the child's time with me is up, they are behaving and learning respect. Remember, the punishment has to fit the crime and have a time out chair.

Yeah I would but I'd probably keep them in the backyard or take them to a playground until they got tired. Then I could bring them in my home!

In a real emergency I would. I cannot imagine what it would be like to be without someone to watch my child if I had an emergency to handle that I could not bring them to.
