We all know the stress of babysitting for more than a few hours. Yes, they’re children and you love them, but you also value peace, quiet and your own sanity.
When Patricia Collins stepped in to help out with her nieces, nephews and family pets for a few days, we doubt she thought it’d lead to this…

Thankfully, Patricia seems to have a great sense of humour – something she needed this week by the looks of things!
Patricia’s niece Katie stopped by to see how her aunt was coping, and found some pretty interesting signs around the house:
The first snap shows the family pet in his pen, with a note attached: “Dog free to good home. Good luck to the new owner”
There’s also a bottle of wine to the front left of the shot, with some handy guidance:
“you’ll need this”
What we’ve a feeling might be less well received is when her family come home to find their children have been sold off.
It’ll be worth it though – they’ll be up €500, or their nearest offer.
We hope Patricia gets a large Toblerone back from the airport for her troubles!
Hilarious!
Thanks to Katie Gunn for sending this our way!
