I hate the "gentle parenting gone wrong" stories. Gentle parenting is treating your kid as a person with emotions, not letting them do whatever they feel like. I tell my kid all the time, you're allowed to be angry, upset, mad, ect, you just aren't allowed to be a jerk because of it.

To the woman who kept congratulating her kids for 'letting thier big feelings out' You know they'll hate you? they won't know what's okay and what's not, so it'l probably result in thier lives being ruined one way or another, or them being hated by the majority of people they know, and they'll blame you for not teaching them the difference, or else become extremely depressed and cut ties with you. One way or another, atleast a few of thier problems will trace back to you.

Geez, that kid who turn on the dryer with the cat in it is scary. Our old cat used to like laying in the dryer too. And once we actually didn't notice he was in there and my dad tossed some clothes in and turned it on. Thankfully I was I at the computer which is near the washer and dryer. I was hearing a meow and a thump over and over. I was too little to reach the shut off so I yelled for my Dad. He came out and shut it off. Thankfully the cat was okay, actually just ended up with cut above his nose and cheek. Needless to say, we always checked the dryer after that. That cat went on to live many years and just passed in January.

[@xOrionNebula2708]

that actually reminds me of a time i was playing with a group of new online friends and this girl was being a brat trying to force everyone to do things the exact way she wanted and we all decided to just get up and leave the game but then i remembered that i had a special private game and i suggested we go there without her and at this point she had been controlling everyone for over 2 hours and then everyone agreed and everyone went to join my private game queue and as everyone was leaving she said she was going to stop but honestly i didint believe her because if she didint listen to all her friends asking her to stop ruining their experience then odds are shes just gonna join up and do it again so i said no and i said im sorry but your gonna have to play with someone else and we finished the game and we were actually finally able to enjoy it anyway sure enough the next time i saw her she wasnt trying to pull that anymore

either that, or the kids will be shamed into normalcy as soon as they'll start having friends outside of the household.

[@jaycooper2812]

Story 11. I would have messaged the parents and said "You have 30 minutes to get here and control your demon spawn or i am calling the police and child protection for child abandonment". I'll bet they would answer very quickly after that. I actually called the police once on a couple who asked me to care for their 2 kids for 4 hours and at hour 3 the oldest child said "Look at this." I looked at the iPad he was holding to see his parents boarding a plane for a 5 day trip to Hawaii. They sent my call to voice mail and so I called the police. 5 days later they get off the plane to find the cops waiting at tne gate to arrest them and their children in foster homes. It was another year before they even got visitation with the kids.

[@DaveTexas]

Back in the 1980s when I was in high school, I was hired by a neighbor to babysit her three boys. The boys were five, three, and one. I asked what time bedtime was. The mom sighed and told me they didn’t have a bedtime. Not for lack of trying, but because trying to put the two older boys to bed wasn’t worth the fight. Fight? She said the only way to get the three- and five-year-old to go to bed (they slept in the same room) was to put them in their room and then hold the door closed while they screamed and cried and tried to get the door open. She said they would eventually wear themselves out, but it could take up to 30 minutes of holding the door shut. The more they fought it, the faster they’d wear themselves out. They would sleep on the floor wherever they passed out from exhaustion. The mom told me that it really was easier to just let them stay up until they fell asleep on their own…also wherever they passed out. Mom usually didn’t even bother to carry them to bed, because she usually fell asleep before they boys did. So, I just let the boys stay up. I have no idea how those children had that much energy. They ran around the house and screamed at the top of their lungs until mom came home…after 1:00am. They had no interest in playing games with me. They didn’t even have any interest in watching TV. They wouldn’t do anything quiet; they just ran around yelling for hours. Mom was actually surprised when I agreed to babysit for her again. She paid twice what I usually charged (probably because she couldn’t get a babysitter due to the horrible behavior of the children), so of course I’d sit for her again. That second time, I decided to do the holding-the-door-shut routine. I put the boys in their room and told them I’d leave the door open as long as they stayed in bed. Ha ha ha. That didn’t happen. So I shut the door and held the doorknob while the boys screamed and yelled while they tried to pull the door open. They screamed about not wanting the door closed. Periodically, I’d open the door and remind them that I’d leave the door open if they stayed in bed. It took more than a half-hour, but they did eventually pass out on the floor. It was worth it, too. I had quite a few hours of quiet after they were asleep, which allowed me to study. Mom came home and was impressed that I got them to go to sleep at all! So, I kept babysitting and collecting double. Then one night I was babysitting and mom didn’t come home anywhere near her expected time. She’d usually say she’d be back by midnight and would then get home an hour or two later. This particular night, though, she wasn’t home at 3:00am. I started to get worried. The only phone number she had left for me was the number of the restaurant where she was having dinner, and I knew they wouldn’t even be open at that hour for me to call. 4:00am came and went. 5:00am came and went. I was seriously freaking out, wondering if I should call the police. My parents hadn’t called to check on me, so I figured they must still be asleep; we lived just a few houses down for the woman and her kids, so they could always walk over if they needed to check on me, too. The woman finally got home at about 5:30am. She apologized profusely. I calculated the fee for the evening, which she handed me…and then she handed me another $200 as a tip…for not calling the police. I even made it home before my parents woke up. That was the last time I babysat for her. I mean, I was rich after that night (the $300+ dollars I earned that night was a lot for a teen in 1984!), but that was too much stress for me. The battle for bedtime was horrible, those children had no manners and refused to follow rules, and not being able to reach the mom was problematic, to say the least. I did consider babysitting for her a few months later when she offered to pay me even more - I’m fairly certain she couldn’t find anyone who would sit for her more than once - but I just couldn’t handle the stress of it. I had several steady babysitting jobs that kept me pretty busy, so I wasn’t hurting for money. The kids I sat for were also nice, polite, well-behaved kids. I didn’t want more trouble.

[@ViewingChaos]

Holy shit. That sounds like those kids had such a messed up childhood. There were definitely problems with how the mother dealt with things. Either out of ignorance or lack of education she likely messed them up for life

[@virginiawallace1243]

I think that after that night, I would’ve reported her to Child Protective Services. She was obviously an unfit mother. And it bothers me that she had so much cash to pay you. That raises a whole bunch of red flags for me!

[@lorisewsstuff1607]

It's a nice sentiment that all children should be loved, but until you meet a child so violent and murderous that he makes adults fear for their safety you don't know how bad a child can be. The kid I knew like that was abandoned by his mother when he was a baby. Until he got old enough to find her on Facebook, he had no memory of her. He was the one that abused his father. I saw the bite marks and bruises. It broke his father's heart. I don't think people are born evil, but I do think they can be born with brain damage. Whatever the cause, he was a frightening child. I won't criticize anyone for not loving a child that makes them fear for their own safety. It's heart-wrenching that some children are born like that, but they do exist.

[@StormTheSquid]

Personally I find stuff like that to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Get the kid help and still give them love. Don't treat them like a monster, even if they act like one, because then they'll become one. Almost happened to me. Took a *long* time for me to heal and become a better person. Much longer than if the people around me would've just treated me with basic decency from the start and gotten me the help I needed *before.*

[@lorisewsstuff1607]

@StormTheSquid His father did try getting him help. He refused to speak to his therapists or even acknowledge they were in the room. One therapist that tried to force a reaction was physically attacked and refused to see him again. Social Services tried putting him in foster homes. All the foster parents gave him back because of his violent attacks on other children and pets. He had killed all of his own pets and a few others in the neighborhood. Eventually, CPS made the recommendation of trying to get him into a mental institution and washed their hands of him. His father couldn't bring himself to institutionalize him in a facility for violent adults. He was only in middle school at that point. It's really easy to say "get them some help" until you meet a child that makes the people trying to help them afraid. I don't blame the psychologists. He was more than they could handle. They didn't even know anyone to refer him to, other than to gently recommend an institution. I doubt you were like this kid unless you enjoyed causing real pain. This went way beyond bullying. With my own eyes, I saw him laughing while killing kittens. That was one of the few times I saw him happy. He was a little kid with blood on his hands and clothes, giggling like he just found a new toy. I won't deny there are troubled kids that can be saved, but this kid was unlike anything I've seen outside of a movie.

This video is giving me PTSD flashbacks. I babysat A LOT back in the 90’s and was paid 2$ an hour. One of the stories that pop up is I was babysitting 2 little girls, their folks were totally dysfunctional, dad couldn’t keep it in his pants and mom was a doormat. One Saturday afternoon the girls were misbehaving more than usual and I sent them to their rooms. When I let them out I realized that a game they had left outside was now inside. The oldest had gone out through her window to bring the game inside just because. Their main objective was for me to call their mom so she’d come back home. This was wayyy before cellphones, so it was rarely possible. But I had a secret weapon. My Mom had a daycare and during the week those girls came to our home. So I didn’t call their mom, I called mine. Sonia was way scarier than their mom cause they didn’t have anything to guilt trip her with. When my mom showed up at their house, the stupidity stopped right then and there. Since it was the 90’s, it was allowed to discipline another mom’s kids when they were acting like little shits.

[@endersdragon34]

I was a respite/hab worker for many years (aka glorified babysitting for disabled (in my case autistic) kids)... no demon child stories, but a few demon parent stories. 1) expected her, I want to say 12 (maybe a bit older like 14) year old autistic son (high functioning but still very much autistic), to basically clean the entire house once a week but spread out over the 7 days. It wasn't exactly a tiny house either. The kid basically had no free time on weekdays and between homework and cleaning the house it was hard finding time to make him a complicated meal (which was also my job despite that being illegal to make me do beyond basic meal preparation (we are there to help watch the kid/teach him skills, not anything that would distract us from that and we have to tell Medicaid we are doing exactly that), but I digress. One time I let him play video games for a half hour after school because it was clear that he was not up for cleaning 3 ****ing rooms and doing homework right after school, that causes everything not to be done by the time she arrives home like a half hour early.... that was the last day I worked there. Felt bad for the kid but there was no obvious abuse going on she just worked him way too much to the point where he didn't have time to be a kid which sent his autism into overdrive (I can use autistic that way I am autistic too). Another mother, was a foster parent of 3 disabled kids. I was responsible for watching just 1 of them, an 8/9 year old with nonverbal autism/ID. I quickly learned, she scheduled out every second of these kids days and barely spent anytime with them (maybe an hour when they wake up and an hour when they go to sleep). Sort of frustrating when she is supposed to be a foster parent. Most parents are worried about leaving a stranger (especially a male stranger like myself) home along with their kids... she left within 10 minutes of me getting there the first time after giving me next to no instruction. Basically just "there are his diapers, there is his changing mat, he likes to go to the park, don't let him eat too much, bye". However, working with kids on the spectrum is hard and I needed a bit more guidance than that. Yeah I didn't stay there long, was just way to exhausting without any real guidance. One more story real quick. 12 year old nonverbal kid, though probably no ID (it was hard for anyone to get good clues on how smart he actually was because of the nonverbalness). Was hired to being their homeschool tutor. However, they didn't really know his limits and what he could do. He was a sweet kid most of the time, but after 2 hours with me he was just done. When I started I was working 3 hour shifts... yeah he couldn't handle that and his thing was that he would grab my shirt collar and he had very long fingernails which would scratch up my neck and chest something fierce. I learned very quickly how to get out of my shirt very quickly leaving him looking at my shirt like "this is not what I wanted". Eventually we switched him to 2, 2 hour shifts a day with 2 hours off in-between which worked well for me (more hours) and worked well for him (no 3 hour shifts). So all was well until I had to leave but that is a story for another day.

I babysat my ex friend's daughter a few times for anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour (if you can call it babysitting) and for the most part, she was a living nightmare. She would scream with the furiousity of a thousand demons hitting high notes and screams that would impress any classical soprano or death metal vocalist. I could turn my back for less than two seconds and every toy, puzzle and coloring book would be scattered everywhere. The final straw was when she threw her aunt's (now my) cat and nobody did anything about it. She said, "Its funny, when kitty hits the wall". And if youre wondering about the cat, shes happy, healthy, loving, playful, and incredibly fuzzy. As for the kid, I havent seen or heard from them due to a falling out with the kid's aunt. On a lighter note, when I was 12 or 13, I babysat one of my friends. He was a few months younger than me and for some reason, his parents thought it would be a good idea for me to babysit him (?). Most of the time, all we did was watch movies or play football. The only bad experience I had while babysitting him was when he broke his leg a few days earlier. His older brother had a baseball game and they didn't want to take him. They promised they would be home right after the game ended at 8. 9 rolls by and they haven't gotten back or called. I try calling their father and he doesn't answer. 10 rolls by and no reply. Finally, at 3:45 in the friggin morning, they pull into the driveway. Apparently, their older son won his baseball game and they went out to celebrate. They could have easily called to let us know or taken us with them. They didn't just go out, no. They drove an hour to another town and got wasted. But on the plus side, I got to spend all day with my best friend and I think I helped him through a lot of stuff that day. I just hope he's okay, wherever he ended up.

Was a babysitter/nanny. I had more of demon parents. Parents who wouldn’t come home on time, parents who wouldn’t pay me correctly, one family wanted me to babysit on holidays (thanksgiving and Christmas).

[@leafylinnea2074]

When I was babysitting a 9 year old we were doing the thing where you lay on the ground with your legs up when the child stopped doing it, grabbed a watering can with a skinny and pointy spout, and stuck in right in my butthole. I was of course wearing pants but when that feeling gave me a reflex to bring my legs down without thinking of the child being there. She started crying and quickly slipped her sandals on and ran out the back door towards a lake. All of my shoes were in the closet so I ran after her barefoot on a gravel path freaking out that I was going to loose her or she would jump/fall in the lake. Luckily she was fine and only ran probably 1/4 mile but that experience was an interesting one….

I babysat two brothers (8 and 4yo) during 2 weeks at the end of February/beginning of march this year. The big one has diagnosed ADHD, little one suspected to have it and anger issues. They both screamed, were hitting each other the harder they could, little one wanted to do crafts with me but the big one wanted to mostly fight his brother. Chocking, pulling hair and smacking the head, pushing the other one's back from the sofa onto the coffee table corner, they did it all but I managed to prevent bruises and head injuries and had to put each of them at least once a day, in a corner on one foot like a flamingo and hands on their head. If one was punished I had to punish the second one for going and tempting their brother to fight back. Their mom only switches to a higher pitch of voice and gets mad, dad quite passive and they both give up and give them their Nintendo Switch, 3DS, tablet or phones. Oh, and also : the little one wakes up at 6:15AM, the big one at 8:30AM and was scared of the dark to the point of not moving from the bed if he was alone or in the dark, yet didn't have a night light (which I recommended to his parents) so kept on screaming "I'M AWAKE!" until someone came to fetch him or open the blinding curtains. And none of them knows how to wipe after the toilets, parents didn't give me a heads up about it so I was a bit taken aback when it came out.

Spanking doesn't necessarily break a person, but every single person who attributes spanking as the reason why they "turned out just fine" was definitely not just fine when I look at the people in my life: Anger issues, consistently chaotic relationships, alcoholism, and drug addiction (just my experience). These people strangely don't mention things like, knowing your parents will support you, having a safe place to make mistakes and learn, or anything else that can contribute to a healthy child. And I know plenty of people who were spanked as kids and they NEVER come to the defense of spanking because they're prioritizing the way their parents helped them with school work, or stood up for them against bullies. If the supportive behaviors are present, and spanking isn't overused, the child will likely turn out fine. But it's because of the supportive behaviors, spanking is a treacherous shortcut that should be used sparingly, if ever. I was spanked a lot as a kid because my mom took out her aggression for my dad SAing me. She was jealous I guess. Sure I was I quiet kid, and obeyed rules great. But I literally thought that everything I wanted in life was wrong when I was 13, as in I assumed me liking the state I lived in devalued the entire state, so no one else would like it because I did. I am doing ok. today and am fabulous at communication and relationships because I put a heck of a lot of work in, and psychology is my adhd special interest. So, when you defend spanking, please add more context. Because parents like mine, and children like me, are listening. We need to focus on the complete package of parenting, not the part that can so easily and obviously turn into outright abuse.

[@Albanwinter]

I don't think I ever really had a demon child. Did have to spank a child just once (I had the parent's permission) because she had started to harass one of the neighbor children. That particular neighbor child's mother sometimes did hairstyling for people at her house and neighborhood kids were not allowed in when she had a client. Well the kid I was babysitting chased the neighbor kid right into the house. Spanking time. The other wacked babysitting story I have is not the kids. I sometimes babysat for a family that my sister knew. They had three actually very quiet children. One was a baby not quite a year old if I recall rightly. The parents were both alcoholics and had alcoholic friends that they went out with occasionally. The father was a right piece of work. Not violent, just a womanizer. On the last night I babysat for them their marriage came unglued. It was so embarrassing.

[@TheColorHopeIsBlue]

That poor, poor cat. I would be absolutely horrified to find that. I can’t even imagine what OP saw in that dryer. And I can’t even imagine what was going through that kid’s head. Like, I’m sure even at a very young age I would have understood that you have to check the dryer if your cats are prone to hiding in random places and that you should NEVER close the dryer door on the poor baby. Idk if I would have comprehended the heat or blunt force trauma factors in how the dryer could harm the cat, but I did know what suffocation was. That kid needs some serious help.

[@namingthingsishard182]

Not really demon spawn, so much as "wtf?" But I babysat these kids, 10F and her brother 6M and their grandma had custody. She had a jewelry business, really good at it to, and the kids knew not to mess with her stuff. They weren't really bad to babysit, but I was warned not to leave the 2 alone together in case the girl lost her temper with her brother as she had anger issues. Both kids had ADHD and I did my best to do stuff Both wanted for the few hours I had them. The girl, other than her anger issues and tendency towards violence wasn't all to bad, she really liked me actually. I knew how to handle that because my cousin had a bipolar disorder that was undiagnosed at the time. Her brother was just plain creepy, his grandma said she suspected he was on the autism spectrum. The problem was he always made eye contact but never moved his head to do it. Kid was half my height and only looked up through his eyelashes, looking similar to an evil villain. I got paid rather well until they moved due to the girl losing her temper too much at school, the only reason I even got the job was because I knew her outside of babysitting. She liked me and I could get her to listen without her using violence as her first option. I was patient with the boy (no matter how creepy) and I had 5 younger siblings who had very different personalities. Also I'm on the spectrum myself, but was undiagnosed at the time. Oh, and I was like, 13, so I had no idea how I got her to listen....

[@melancholybobbyjoe]

I think kids pulling out all their toys is the least of my worries. With my niece and nephew we'd dump the whole toybox out and clean it up at bedtime.

[@8Sockhead8]

As a behavioral specialist who works with kids, I can confirm. A child may act out, and I'm not saying everything a kid does is blameless or justified, but more than anything, a child is the product of their body, mind, surroundings and upbringing. It's not the kids that are the demons. The kids are pure. The kids desperately need love and guidance. It's their parents that are sometimes monsters.

[@achimsinn6189]

I remember that one kid who stood with my family for an afternoon. It was not really a babysitting job, rather some kid from the neighborhood going on a trip with us so we kids could play together. We ended up playing soccer and as kids do got ourselves somewhat dirty while doing so. At some point the kid also got the ball in his face and had a purple eye because of that. Nothinge severe, but visible. For my family stuff like that is normal - well, maybe not normal, but in the boundaries of stuff that could happen when kids are playing and do physical activieties. So neither my brother or myself were thinking much of it. When the parents got their kid, his mother turned pale white and my mom had to sit her down in order to not collapse. She then kept on mumbling something like "what did they do to my baby" and for a moment even we kids were worried about maybe having to call an ambulance for her, but then the kids father laughed out and said loud and in a proud voice "Finally you look like an actual boy." Then his mother jumped up yelling at her husband and threw a tandrum about him saying something like that while his father kept on apologizing for the situation untill they left. 2 months later the parents were divorced and the boy got to stay with his dad after my parents were called up as witnesses of her overprotective behaviour and about how that affected the kid. Not sure, if my family did the right thing or not, but tbh I think they would have divorced anyways due to how different the father and the mother were looking at things. Some opposits might attract each other, but they just can't coexist for an entire live and those parents were an example for that.

i babysat for my cousin for the summer when i was 15 and the kid was 2 or 3 at the time and he was terrible. the living room and kitchen was seperated with a blanket being used as a curtian and i would go make him lunch or breakfast and i was always listening and it would sound like he was watching youtube and id come back and he would have dropped something in the fish tank (one time it was batteries), hed have drawn on the wall, hed throw toilet paper all over, and overall just make a mess. he also had a hitting and swearing problem and those things were bc of his dad (he drunk a lot at the time and he was an asshole when he was drunk)

I know what that supplement is, Chawanprash(?) Its some insane amount of sugar and 60% gooseberry fiber and marketed as a panacea. Technically gooseberry does have a lot of vitamin C but after processing and the insane amount of sugar, any benefits are offset. Its an Indian thing.

[@BananaMike780]

my older sister babysat two boys for a french couple, who neglected to tell her that their youngest had downs syndrome and only spoke french. He was terrified of her when she came, and hid in the bathroom. the older brother spoke french so she asked him to talk to him and calm him down. He said something to him through the door, and he started just screaming in the bathroom. my sister asked the older brother what he told him, turned out he said that she's a witch and was going to eat him.

[@annnichols3091]

Decades ago I babysat for a family only once. The main thing I remember is that one of the children threw a metal object (not that light) that hit me in the back.

[@ProudAuntieEST2016]

I wasn't paid to babysit but I was 17 and "an adult" to the parents of my neighbor kids. I was 3 years older than the oldest kids and 10 years older than the youngest. The girl (8/9) when I met her and the rest of the kids was a spoiled brat that basically ran the apartment kids because her grandpa was the handy man and her family had lived there literally her mom's whole life. At 16/17 she decided it was a good idea to do a home invasion on an older couple with her cousin (same age and the scapegoat of the family I felt so bad for her because she was a sweetheart. She was also living with the cousin/aunt because her mom lost custody but was still around some.) The man had a stroke or heart attack and the girls went to juvie, where it was made known the girl was pregnant. She and her mom had their little boys within months of each other. My grumpy old man cat hated only her and was the neighborhood cat for all the other kids. The cousin escaped the family and is doing great! There was one little boy in a different abusive family (same apartment complex) that had so many anger issues but my cat could calm him down. He ended up running away at 14 and I found out from a radio station and felt so bad for the boy and his little brother. One of their older sisters who was 5 years older than the angry angel was impregnated at 14 (and forced to get rid of her baby by the parents) by a 24 year old drug dealer. Their little cousins were abused by a different neighbor that was my age and freaked me out who became friends with my friend who came to stay with me. Yeah that entire complex was screwed up!

Never babysat but did live with a extended family for a month and it was hell. They had 2 girls one was 5 with shunts in her head due to nearly dying at birth, the other was 3 and diagnosed homicidal at 2. The 3 year old ran the house beat her elder sister, destroy electronics like ipad and wanted to play with my games i of course said hell no. Their mom and grandma tried to force us to let the homicidal 3 year old do whatever she wanted and just committed fruad by using the grandma's college grant money to replace whatever the kids broke. After a month they caused my mom to have a stroke after the grandma tried to attack my mom when mom was confronting the mom about lying to a person was trying to rent from. They made us homeless, destroyed a lot of our property and stalked us to point had to get restraining order. And this was supposed to be my mom's half sister and her step mother that did all this.

[@blindvision4703]

Story four was just “gentle parenting” in all it’s in effective glory. Not that you need to be absolutely ruthless to your kids, but turning into an absolute doormat is not the answer, from what I understand (, no kids). In this case, you don’t really need experience, you don’t even need eyes. You just need common sense, especially one shaped by biblical worldview. But anyone should be able to see the problems here!

[@ElvenAngel]

I work with kids, teaching English as a foreign language at people's homes. I loathe permissive/'gentle" parenting with a vengeance. It creates the most entitled, arrogant and bratty kids ever. I had to deal with an 11-year-old who could not comprehend that during our 1 hour of class, he was not allowed to play on his tablet. He howled like a banshee the first couple of days. His mother was *scared* to discipline him. She told me that she let her son do whatever he wanted because he had to express himself and she bought his absolute fibs when he said that he needed to get his feelings out. I had a long talk with her about working for them. She was desperate to get him to improve--he'd been put to study English since he was 9 and made no progress. I got her permission to start disciplining him. Three months of warring until he worked out that he could not steamroll over me and that mummy wouldn't have his back. She did a LOT of crying. I don't know why I didn't ask for a raise for doubling as her parent counsellor. Mind you, I am NOT trained in that stuff, I just asked my mother how the fuck she disciplined me when I was a child and she gave me pointers, after laughing her head off. I was on that kid's case for the better part of 7 years until he got his English certifications and he absolutely hated my guts for the first 2 years. Then he figured out I had both similar interests to him (video games, comics, etc) and yet I was way cooler than him (lol) and he started cooperating some. He was a shit student, unmotivated and lazy, but once we got past his delusion that he could do whatever he wanted with no consequences, he started doing much better. I feel like his mother was in awe of me. I motivated her to discipline him more, which her mother had been yelling at her about for ages. Mind you, I hated this entire job but the money was alright and I got motivated by sheer Hellenic hag-ish spite.

[@muffinmuffin8946]

I have only ever babysat for my siblings and these two little boys, my siblings were worse, but not in these hell child ways (no hate to children, they learn from their environment) These two boys were sweet, as sweet as two boys are, the oldest, definitely on the spectrum from my suspicions, wanted nothing more than to show me all his video games and toys, the youngest also wanted to show me his toys, i am the eldest of six, so I knew how to deal with two children needing me to pay attention to them, I play video games with the oldest while commenting on the youngest, helping him set up toys right besides us, later in the evening, its getting late and they do not want to go to bed, so I helped compromise, playing a game that they get ready for bed and do all their chores as they come throw stuffies at me and I do funny voices, I get the youngest changed and then set them up to watch Bluey, making sure they were ok for the night, they were passed out before I went downstairs to chill, I got paid over 100 in 20$ bills, and I got leftovers of the pizza, to be fair, the parents were well off, i went to bed in shock

When I was a teen I babysat a bit one girl whose parents ended up getting so pissed off at my mother for being crazy but still respected me and 2 sisters. The sisters were daughters of a woman my mother worked with who were out of control and all other baby sitters told her to go f her self if she thought they would baby sit for her because they were out of control. Over 200 people tried baby sitting and every single one hated the kids and could not get them to settle down at all and those were people who has master degrees in taking care of children and all were female. I learn that women don't know anything about raising children at all. I was 14 and a nerd and a super dork so yea no experience nor training at all. The girls started going insane in literally 2 minutes. I told them if they don't settle down then I was going to put them on the couch and sit on them. I weight about 60 to 80 pounds which they were about 40 and 50 so not that much more. They did not calm down and I grabbed them and put them on the couch and sat on them and then said if they were good I would bring my PS 2 from my rood and put Lego Star Wars on the console and I can help them play because its only a 2 player game so they will get to play but if they get out of control again the console is going away and they will be in time out. They listened to me and then I was the only baby sitter they had or wanted for 2 years. I learned that day that the number 1 thing to dealing with out of control kids is treat them with respect and do not threaten them but follow threw with your promises and kids will learn. Kids are not 100% dumb they need discipline and need someone in their lives that is willing to lay down the law. You don't have to be aggressive you just have to have the will to show that you mean what you say and you say what you mean. You follow threw with your actions and the kids will listen because they understand you command authority which makes you worthy to listen to and follow the rules to. Females put too much emotion and end up being insane while children listen better logic over emotion.
