* Disclaimer. Amanda and I LOVE kids. Heck, I am a big kid and I love to goof around. That said...
I'll never forget the day I met Jack and Jill and their two young hellions... I mean kids. The son was six, the daughter was four. They were both out of control.
It was cute at first. Then as the son knocked the vase off of the coffee table in the living room because he was practicing wind sprints, and then the daughter decided to stand on my feet, grab my pockets, and look up at me and scream bloody hell...
The cuteness quickly wore off. :)
This time around I was only showing them one home. The following weekend they wanted to see five more. Let's see... out of control young kids. Five homes. We will probably be out for at least two hours or so. Can you imagine the relief I felt when Jill said...
"Should we get a sitter??"
Now don't get me wrong here, I love kids and they love me. I just think that young kids these days get bored quickly. When I'm showing homes, the conversation I have with my clients is very important. If there are screaming and out of control kids (of any age), it makes it difficult for me to do my job.
My advice is this: If possible, find a sitter.
