Hello Mumsnet, I'm not sure where to post this as I made this account just to post this and get help.
I babysit my sister's 4 and 6 year old sons almost every other day for about 4 hours a time. I can't say
no to babysitting him because I know it helps my sister a lot whilst she's working and she doesn't want to hire anyone else (She is picky but thats understandable I suppose)
The four year old's behaviour is becoming very distressing for me and his
6 year old brother who I also babysit. The 6 year old often gets upset
over his younger brother's tantrums as they are quite violent and physical such as hitting whoever he can, throwing things and shouting 'I hate you' to me and his brother.
Firstly, He not like chewing his food. He strops if you give him food that requires him to chew more than a little bit. He screams the house down if you refuse to spoon feed him. Ive asked my sister what the issue is with that, she just shrugs it off as laziness as she is used to spoon feeding him and wont sort of push him to try feeding himself as its less hassle.
He does NOT like using the toilet. He poops his underwear and then you have to literally pick him up and do the rest for him... Most of the time he just shouts 'Ive pooped myself, clean it up'...
After dinner we do painting, drawing, or playing with sand or something.
But recently he wants to play shooting games. My sister lets him play the
violent video games at her house, and because hes in a routine at his where after dinner he plays that game, He sulks and throws a HUGE tantrum if I say no to playing those sort of games!! Once again my sister shrugs it off. His behaviour isnt bad just when I babysit him, He's like this ALL the time. Everywhere. What do I do, and what do you think is causing him to act like this? Thank you!
