:woot:i have been baby-sitting my lil' cuz and she is starting to really get on my nerves. She won't shut up about my boyfriend saying stuff like he is dumb and shit like that. it is really starting to piss me off and i want to beat her into a bloody pulp. she is about 6years old. and i only baby-sit for the money.
i need some tips on stress relief so idon't beat her into that bloody pulp.
gah! children...*shudders*. hows about you get her a video she likes, and that means she wont have a go at you. Siblings are the worst, i have to look after my brother, plus i dont get paid, so it's doubley worse lol. find some way of occupying her which also gets you in control, ie 'if you dont shut up you cant have any sweets' etc
If he is gone, who will I have left to hate?
I need someone to blame when I want to cry.

And i love chris/./././.oppz did i say that? OK well I LOVE CHRIS FOREVER AND ALWAYZ,dont worry one day ull learn to love me .
lol. she probably annoys you and sees how mad you get and gets off on that. dont let her see you get angry...and laugh and poke fun at her as well. dont be too harsh, but she'll get the idea that its not as fun to be annoyed as it is to annoy. good luck
Bribing, threatening, and Tv are bad options. If you use something like "If you don't ___, I'll ____" or "If you don't ____, you can't ___", make sure you follow through with it. Don't threaten to hit her or anything. Play with her, and ignore her when she's trying to get on your nerves. Geez, don't sink to the maturity of a 6 year old and actually take her seriously when she tries to pick on you. <3
~The best thing about being happy is thinking that you will never be unhappy again.
lol im not telling her to sink to her maturity, but more to show her by returning the actions that whats she's doing isnt cool. its worked for me in the past and the child doesnt get upset nor do they lose any amount of respect for me. in every instance, it has worked, and we got along for the rest of the time that the child was babysat by me.
With my brothers, I generally just get them a DVD to watch. Let her choose, and tell her she goes to bed as soon as it's finished. (if it's at night) Otherwise, try and amuse her, and if she's rude, just ignore her. Most people get bored if no one's listening...

i know how u feel cuz once i was babysitting for the most perverted little buggers ever and they would grab my boobs in front of their hot cousin and talk about milking me! lol it was SOOOO embarrassing! best thing i can say is bribe and threaten.
The quote that saved my life, "Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
she's only trying to get your attention...give it to her (attention, that is lol)
Whatever our failings may be, we need not lower our eyes in the presence of Jesus...Jesus comes not for the super-spiritual but for the wobbly and the weak-kneed who know they don't have it all together, and who are not too proud to accept the handout of amazing grace. As we glance up, we are astonished to find the eyes of Jesus open with wonder, deep with understanding, and gentle with compassion.
She won't shut up about my boyfriend saying stuff like he is dumb and shit like that. it is really starting to piss me off and i want to beat her into a bloody pulp. she is about 6years old. and i only baby-sit for the money.
