"You're a lazy, entitled young girl who manipulates others into doing your work for you." Honestly, that should've been how Tabitha gets this brood under control. These kids don't want a babysitter around, right? Tabitha should've played into that, and presented them with a chance to prove to their parents that they don't NEED a babysitter. She takes the 3 oldest kids, divides the remaining 10 into groups of 3 and 4, and each of the 3 oldest kids are given the task of looking after 1 of the much smaller group of younger kids. If there's a problem in this or that little group, it's up to the older kid in charge to handle it, but if that older kid doesn't know how to do so, then that older kid turns to Tabitha to deal with it. That leaves Tabitha with the much simpler task of managing only 3 kids, and the rest of the kids enjoy a larger degree of independence while learning how to get along and not need a sitter constantly policing them.
