my brother and sister in law went to Hongkong to purchase and travel.he asked me to babysit his son for two days and gave me 200RMBĀ· i thought it's a good deal.yesterday,he is well-behaved,maybe we are not that close,he is a little bit afraid of me.i followed brother's words--feed him milk when he needs and give him toys and take him walk after dinner~ he came into sleep about 9,and i started watching shows,12pm,i came to bed,but terribly, i was woken up at 4am by his noise,he kept crying ,when i got to check him,dolls and blanket are on the floor,peeing on bed!!!i have to change a diaper ,by the way i feel gross,and i really don't like doing this... on the other hand he kept crying~ which means i still can't sleepĀ·then i held him in my arm ,shaking a little ,humming lullaby,he didn't cry ,neither did he sleep.he stared at me,weired,,,then i put him into bed,then there went crying again,,,are u gonna torture me this whole day?i asked him~ everytime i hug him ,the cry stops,but i put him in bed ,he cry///
finally,somehow i fell into sleep ignoring his crying or not~~
and now, brother is home,,,i gave the boy back~~~ which make me feel not easy about being parents~

I think maybe he just wanted to be held. Some nights my son will want me to stay with him. Your nephew must have been confused and missing his parents.
If you decide to have your own children, you might have a better idea of what to do because you'll have had this experience.
