Child making threats.


Posted Saturday April 23 2011, 11:34 pm

What do you do when the child you're babysitting makes threats such as "I'm going to tell my mom what you're doing!" when what you're benefits the kid and their health?

For example, the child would not wipe himself properly after pooping in his pants, so I made him take a bath and wash himself, so that he would not get an infection.

Although, I don't care if he tells his parents how I handled the situation, I feel completely disrespected when I'm treated like the enemy. What would you do?

Constantly Babysitting


Posted Thursday March 17 2011, 11:36 am

My mom and dad both work long hours during the day so until they get home I know I'm expected to watch my 3 sisters. I don't complain about that BUT, even when my dad is home hes up in his room doing whatever. And my mom is always out running errands or something. Or doing paperwork. So basically I am babysitting.. ALL THE TIME. And on-top of all of this even when I don't have to babysit, and I want to go to a friends house, my mom wont let me go. I have no freedom and WAY too many responsibilities. I have considered running away so many times before. I mean I'm there sister, not there mom. Help me. ):

Tired of babysitting


Posted Thursday August 12 2010, 5:39 pm

I have been watching my mother in laws children for almost two years now. One is three and the other is six. I have a three year old as well. I am started to think I would like to try to get an actual job. My mother in law hates daycare and preschool and I am the only person she really trusts to watch her children. I am afraid to tell her that I don't want to watch her children anymore. My husband doesn't want me to get a new job because I'm helping his mother so much. We could really use the extra money though (I only get paid $305/2 weeks from watching her kids.) Should I tell my mother in law I want to quit or should I just keep watching them until they are all in school?

Feel guilty about wanting to quit

I have a 2 year old niece that I babysit once a week. She's my sister's little girl. My mom watches her from about 7 a.m. to 4ish M-F and sometimes on Sat's depending on when my sis works. I usually watch her on Thurs's. Here's the deal. My mom suffers from terrible back-pain, she takes care of my dad who is partly paralyzed/disabled, and my adult brother still lives at home and he is a bit of heck-on-earth because he is an alcoholic & drug addict. I don't think my niece should be in that house with so much going on in the first place. I watch her once a week because I feel sorry for my mom and for my niece. My sis is not financially able to afford daycare or another sitter, since my mom and I watch her for free. Here's my dilemma. I ...

Help! I think I am babysitting a future freak!!!!


Posted Sunday July 11 2010, 6:14 am

I am 14/f. I baby sit this 7 yr old little boy, and his dad was my dad's frat buddy in college so both our families are really close. When other people are around the kid is fine...but when I am babysitting him by myself, he becomes super toilet boy. He talks to me about the toilet. He puts stickers on the toilet paper. He throws things in the toilet, nothing big that would clog it but still...he even sits down on the toilet with his pants up but with the seat so he falls in and calls me in to fish him out. It's too awkward to tell my folks or his what he's doing, but I don't know how to deal with this crazy kid...what should I do? I make really good money for this btw and definitely don't want to lose out on that.
