I have been childminding for one of my mindees aged 5 for the past 6 months. He has been challenging to say the least, no manners-he calls this house the please and thank you house because this is the only place he has to say it!, no ingrained hygiene habits-if I don't stand outside the bathroom door he tries to wlk out without washing his hands and then I have to actually supervise him doing it or he just runs the tap and walks back out! and when he is eating he lays with his head on the table unless I tell him otherwise.
I appreciate he is only 5 and does need help remembering things like manners and handwashing etc but what really annoys me is that every night at home time I say bye and both himself and whatever family member has collected just walk out the door without even a grunt. AIBU to expect a goodbye at the end of the day bearing in mind I have him 15 hours a week and 40 hours in the holidays or should I just put up with not even being acknowledged by his family?
