The movie we had watched before going in the pool was gone seeing as the dvd played was stolen. dont worry i called the parents and we called police and everyone else. but isnt that scary? i just need comforting cause just thinking of what could have happened is rattling me. help :(

thank you all sooooo much! :) i feel a bit better if i could id all give you my points or divide the few that i have collected. youve all be really helpful!

Answer 1

The next time you are babysitting you need to make sure all the doors are locked, even the one you went out if necessary, just carry the keys with you.

I'm glad to hear that nothing happened to you and the kids, I know something like that can be a scarey thing. Just be thankful that no one was hurt.

If I were there I would give you a hug.

Just try to relax and take a deep breath and be thankful.

Answer 2

Be glad that you and the children are alright. If you are a religious person it was in Gods plan that you and the children weren't hurt. Sounds like someone knew what they had. Don't worry about what could of happened. I know easier sad than done. The thing is that it didn't happen. Don't mean to shove religion but pray and you will feel better, if that's something that you would do. I am sorry that it happened to you, if you still feel like this in a couple of weeks you might want to seek some counseling, to help you coup.

Answer 3

Damn, talk about Adventures In Babysitting. Where the hell do you live Beruit? I would never babysit for that family again, that goes without saying. Take a nice warm bubble bath, light some candles, turn off the lights, and play some quiet music. Go ahead and have yourself a good cry if you need to. That plus a nice hot bath always makes me feel better. Glad you're okay kiddo. Be careful who you sit for next time okay? Take care.

Answer 4

Take a nice shower and focus on what didn't happen. It is scary and it is understandable that you would be shaken up. If this concerns you, don't babysit for people that keep guns out and about. Make sure they are under lock and key and the bullets are kept elsewhere away from the guns.
Hugs to you.

Answer 5

Don't babysit there anymore. You're probably end up having an anxiety attack as soon as you walk in the door. You'll be thinking about the gun thing and it will scare you more! I'm sorry you had to experience something like that. People can be such jerks! You didn't do anything wrong and just know you've grown up a lot in one night! I hope you feel better soon.

Answer 7

that is going to be unerving and you will be a bit shook up for a few days. that's a normal reaction. i know it's hard not to think about the what if's, but you do need to stop doing that. what if didn't happen and everyone is safe, thank God. feel blessed.

if your fearful tonight, ask a friend to spend the evening with you. talk about what happened but don't dwell on it. focus your conversation on pleasant, light-hearted topics. and if you can't have a friend spend the night tonight - tell your parents how your feeling. i'm sure they will be there to get you through it.

Answer 8

well all of those things could have happened but they didnt so keep reminding yourself of that. remind yourself that everyone is safe. also the chances of that happening again to you are very slim so relax a little robbers usually dont hit the same house twice. if you need comforting try talking to friends. or parents. and i TOTALLY that is some scary ****!

Answer 9

The main thing to think about it that you're alive to ask the question of 'What could have happened?', which is much better than the alternative.

Answer 10

well call up some friends if your home alone 2night. and make them sleepover. so u wont be scard. if not. just try to for get about it.
