If I'm not mistaken, I think someone called her out on that one time, and said just that (or maybe thats just my imagination?) Oh, I don't remember that, but how I hope that is true. It's a wonder Kristy doesn't call the parents to yell at them for making her sitters late to a meeting!

The glaring at Jessi used to really irritate him. But I suppose it was Kristy's character that the BSC was her sole focus.

The not sitting during meetings is another thing I overlook, I guess. ;D As for Jessi, I kind of see where Kristy is coming from because the BSC is a commitment - just like a sport would be. She should probably give her a little more leeway and not get bent if she is just a few minutes late every once in a while but if it becomes a habit, that's different, to me. After all I can see a coach or another leader getting a bit miffed if someone is consistently late because of another activity. I guess this is kind of a sensitive subject for me because I made choices in activities instead of trying to do everything and it bothered me when people tried to do ten million different things and didn't put the same amount into the one that I did but expected the same treatment. That's just my perspective on that, though, that is influenced by my personal experience (and my "Kristy-ness" ;D)

It drives me crazy when Kristy gets mad at the girls who are late because they've just come from sitting jobs. It'd be one thing if they were just being lazy and couldn't be bothered to get to the meetings on time, but because they're sitting? I think Kristy should cut them a little slack in that situation. I think that their sitting jobs trump being on time for meetings, or at least believe Kristy should think that too!

In "Dawn's Big Date," her first job with Norman and Sara Hill is from 3 or 4 (can't remember which) until 7pm...on a Friday! No mention was made of missing a meeting...

It depends which book you read. Earlier ones seem to schedule girls through meetings (and Kristy was more lax about it- with only 4 or 5 girls, and no back up, turning down a job was worse then missing a meeting). I always thought that girls missed meetings off stage, when the narrorator of said book isn't talking about a meeting.

Just another instance of the characters becoming caricatures of themselves as the series went on.

In Mary Anne and the Little Princess, Mary Anne, Kristy and Stacey miss a job when they go to New York with Victoria. I don't know if this counts or not as a job, but MA was Victoria's companion.

But its still weird to think they rarely mentioned meeting skips.

Don't forget Nannie; she couldn't have been the only grandmother doing childcare!

She seemed to be the only one in Stoneybrook doing it, though.

^ True. It seems like in Stoneybrook, parents left their kids with sitters for everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, even if it was just a trip to the grocery store. If these people lived in the real world, they'd be in for a rude awakening! "What do you mean that I have to take my kids to grocery store? Huh? What?"

I would be SO ECSTATIC if people would leave their kids with a sitter when they went to the store. Children are SO annoying in public. Especially when you just want to get groceries and they are running around and throwing stuff and yelling and screaming and crying and running in front of people and taking the stuff that you were reaching for and saying rude things to people. If you can't afford the time to teach your kids to be normal, or the money for day care, then don't have kids. It's that simple.

I bet shopping in Stoneybrook was a most pleasant experience. The kids weren't allowed near the stores unless they needed special supplies for a BSC project.
