I currently live with my brother right now and Im trying to hunt a job. Now that i am still waiting for a company's call,Im having a hard time dealing with my two hard headed nephews.This morning, the younger one woke up and looked for his dad,since my brother has gone to work he cried and kept bragging to see his dad.This elder one also, he is leading his younger brother to escape and go out.My gosh, sometimes the couple will leave me alone to babysit them, when the kids asks for milk they wanted their mmom to serve them, what can I do when their parents were out?. I cant help myself but spank them sometimes.Oh my! when is this gonna end?

Move to another place. I am sure your nephews won't bother you anymore. lols.
You know kids nowadays are so stubborn. I,myself, gets annoyed with my niece.She is so so so so naughty! I could not forget the incident when she pretended that I kicked her and cried her lungs out as if she was hurt.I was standing right beside her while she was watching her dad fixing the bicycle and I just said "wow". You know, at that moment I want to pull her hair because at 3 years old and she pulled an acting like a pro! Holy cow!

Hi, thanks for sharing this. This is actually happened to me as well with my husband's nephew. He is about 3 years old and he can really pretend and act that way. Once I was with him and was asking for something which I didn't give and all of a sudden he lays down on the floor and cried hard as if I pushed him. It is kind of awkward situation when my husband came and took the child. He said nothing but I know he was thinking that I did pushed him. So from that time on I always try my best not to go beside this child. I do not know where did he get that kind of idea but I find it unacceptable.

@Paper_Doll That's quite unfair if I may say that your husband thought that you really did pushed his nephew. Children can really be vicious sometimes that we wonder how did they learn naughty things like telling lies, cry as if they were hurt and act things like it really did happen when it's really not. When someone comes on rescue and favor them, that will lead to the child's thought that he/she can manipulate people and what he/she did was just fine. Sometimes we need to analyze the child before acting or deciding because this will greatly affect their attitude while growing up.

Just be patient, children can be really annoying sometimes. As you said, you are currently living with them while waiting for a call from a job you applied for so you need to help them in any way you can that is by babysitting your nephews. Eventually, when you already landed on a job I'm sure they won't bother you to look after their kids anymore. Cheer up and goodluck on you job hunting. :-)

Well in my case I am the one leaving my child for my younger brothers to babysit when I have to go somewhere. If my son gets very stubborn and won't listen to my brothers I expect my brothers to just tell me instead and not hurt my son in any possible way. It's the least you can do to return their kindness and one more thing, Kids are kids and they do random things that maybe some of us adults wont understand. They can't understand things like we do as well. So just talk to them in a way they will understand.
Best of luck on your job hunting. :)

I've been annoyed by my husband's nephew for quite a long time but I never really did spank him ever since. Whenever I feel like I am gonna explode, I just move aside and leave. The thing is I have not really experienced a kid like that before. I took care of my two other siblings and they weren't really like that. Just be patient because I believe that hurting them physically every time they commit bad acts will not do any good. I believe that spanking should only be done on acts that is truly unacceptable so they would know and understand the weight of what they have done. Try using the silent treatment to them if they do something bad. That way they would understand that they can not just behave like that. I do that most of the time. I just don't talk even the child talks to me to make him feel I didn't like what he has done. No need for shouting or spanking.

That's sad to hear. I think it's natural for kids to feel uncomfortable with people they don't know well. My niece was like that before but I understand it. You can't spank a kid/those kids because it's against the law. You just have to increase your patience and treat them as your little brothers. Kids have shallow happiness. You can treat them some snack or let them watch their favorite TV show or play games online.

Just practise how to take care of children. But you should try many methods to look for jobs, while you find a job, this kind of life will be ended. Come on.
