I babysat again today. I had a two hour battle with him about not watching TV in his sister's room, complete with kicking, screaming, crying, hyperventilating and more. But I got things worked out. It made me want to puke, I felt so horrible about dragging him to his room with him carrying on... I felt awful, like I was the meanest person on the planet. But I prayed and that helped things- he calmed down and I called his mom and she gave permission and all was well. I'm somewhat glad- remember how I was worried about the authoritative figure/fun friend balance? I guess I got that down- he doesn't like the authoritative side, though. In a way, I guess this is helping me to evaluate some things I never went through in my childhood- things like asking why we have rules. I was always so caught up in trying to follow them all so I could brown-nose adults. Eh, whatever. I'm so tired now. |

Angel_Bob | 11-26-03 7:56pm Yeah, I'm too nice to be a good babysitter. I just let the kids do whatever because I hate making them sad.
