i hate the kids i look after
Ok right. I am a stay at home mum with a 5 yr old (who is at school) and a 2 yr old who is at home. I also look after a friends children who are 1 and 4 from 7.45am until 6.30pm-ish. Is it normal to have developed a loathing for these extra kids?? I have looked after other kids before and they were great and I enjoyed having them- these on the other had are not. They are unattractive looking kids which doesnt help esp as people think they are mine and they have incredibly irritating personalities. the little one can hear a rustling bag from 20 paces and screams and whines because he thinks someone is getting food and not sharing with him and the older boy crys and shrieks when anyone does things like put a hand on his chair does something he doesnt like. he is also very clingy. he shrieks like a girl and makes a drama out of everything complete with hyperventilating. Am i normal to dislike kids like them- would they wear anyone down and are they worth the money? i keep thinking that its not worth it but then they give me more money- they pay me $80 per day tax free son thats $400 a week I would lose. aaarrggh!!

Sounds like the one has autism, if he can hear something like that, the way he preceives the world is different from the rest of us. He can see things and they're quite a bit scary, plus he can't communicate very well, but I might add, he might be a genius.
Your other one is insecure, might have bipolar or OCD(Obessessive Compulsive Disorder) or they're just completely bratty children and you should take them and disciplin them with the best teacher, pain.
Spare the rod; spoil the child.
Don't tell them they're ugly, don't yell or become abusive, because if you do, they'll end up like me, psychotic and murderous, not to mention suicidel.
Also, humans are ugly, get over it. It's all a matter of preception, don't judge a book by it's cover, they may be ugly now, but 10 years from now, they'll be more gorgeous than your own kids.
pick him up put him in a room with nothing to hurt.....and pretend he isnt there until he calms down.
if he throws something just put it back with out even looking at him......
when he is calm notice him again......this shows him that being dramatic isnt cute...but being calm is.
And if not, when the girl is dramatic, IGNORE HER, seriously, it's hard, but pretend you dont see her. Eventually she wont get attention for it, and will stop, but when she does something good like clean up her toys, give her praise.
I will need to think of a DECENT replyt to you. I need to think.
