Siblings >.>

[CrystalMidnight]

Ok so I have to watch my sibling's kids today. Honestly I'm HORRIBLE with kids and these kids are evil as hell. Any suggestions????

 

[Xsyven]

I haven't babysat for about three or four years, but this was my routine:

Put on a Disney movie. If they sit quietly through the whole movie, give them a non-meltable treat, and then depending on what time of the day it is, send them to bed, or outside to play... if they have a safe backyard.

If they don't go to be, that lasts about 4 or 5 hours overall, which is a good chunk of time. If they're like... actual toddlers, or babies, just let them do whatever the hell they do.

 

[CrystalMidnight]

Ok we have a safe backyard but knowing these kids they'd go through the gate run across the front yard and into the street. Two I only own two disney movies both of what they already saw last time they came here and don't want to watch. My other movies are all like fighting and killing and what not. And any treat I give them they'll throw at each other. Ages are 4(boy) 5(girl) and then the 11 year old. 4 year old screams 5 year old beats up 4 year old and 11 year old has an attitude that make me want to kill her. And I normally dont babysit.

 

[Sporkman]

Then put on the fighting and killing. Say that if they tell anyone what they did then you falcon knee them in the face. Everytime they come round put on more fighting and killing movies. Proceed on your way to becoming their favourite Uncle (or Aunt?).

Of course, if someone asks what they did and they reply "we aren't allowed to tell" you may have only jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire.

 

[CrystalMidnight]

Aunt btw. but I couldn't do that these kids already get me in enough trouble when I didn't do anything but be nice to them. I could always like tie them up and shove them into a corner...maybe???

 

[Chaos Paladin]

lol i suggest giving them something safe they can do bythemselvels ( or watch ) and remember if its quiet that means something bad is hapening or going to happen XD

 

[Mic_128]

Are they actually there now?

 

[commonyoshi]

Well, I used to backhand my cousin whenever he would misbehave, in a nice way of course , but that didn't work out. I could see that overtime he became a little punk with an attitude who got what he wanted by forcing himself around. I stopped backhanding him after that, and he became a whole lot nicer.

Just try talking to them, I guess. Find something you all have in common to bond over and they will respect you. You're bigger so they should look up to you in some way.

Edit: You could always watch Disney movies online for free on YouTube or something.

 

[CrystalMidnight]

ok no they're not here one of my other sisters said she'd watch them but sometime this week I'll have to watch them. And as far as respecting me, they don't even respect their parents. they kick holes in the wall curse and hit their parents, they don't respect me. I have tried talking nice and they don't listen so then I screamed and threatened to kill them and that worked for a day. But now they are evil as ****

 

[commonyoshi]

Oh, I hate children who dont respect their parents.

If they dont obey you no matter what, get something each of them love and break it in front of them. Then get a second thing they love also and use that as a hostage. As you can probably see, I have no patience for little kids because there's no reasoning with them. Dont try and reward them with gifts if they are nice because that will only make them spoiled.

Only do that as a last resort.

Edit: When I said the last resort thing, I meant breaking their cherished things. Never reward them for good behavior.

 

[CrystalMidnight]

Ugh I hate kids myself. at least the horrible ones. and you know thats a good idea I think I'll try that. Any other suggestions though in case that doesn't work??

 

[D-20 Dice]

Meh, it's not that bad, you just have to put up with the constant screaming and whining. Give them what they want(unless you were told not to give them something), and keep them out of trouble. If you have questions, call your sibling if he/she has a cell phone. Also, occupying them with a movie or something helps keep them under control.

 

[Vicious Delicious]

Teach them Smash basics. Believe it or not, it works when I babysit my neighbor's kids. But let em win a couple times, or as D-20 said, they'll start screaming and whining >.>

 

[Virgilijus]

Play with them outside and make up games so they can use their imagination (like playing Pirates or Safari Hunter, etc.): when you get that rolling with kids, it can really let them take off. that and if they play for a while, they may get tired and want naps, which is a baby sitters best friend

 

[AHotGreasedUpJigglyPuff 4 Luvin']

Find something shiney. Seriously, it'll even work on most adults. Who can resist shiney? That, or put in CARS. There is something about lightning McQueen that sends my nephew in to a death trance.

 

[CrystalMidnight]

Like I mentioned earlier I only have two kids movies, Treasure planet, and Yu-Gi-Oh. And the shiney stuff we own in expensive shiny stuff, and if it expensive it usually means it's fragile, and they like to break stuff. As for outside like I said since they wont listen to me they'll go out the gate and run to the street. they're smart one will do something on the otherside of the yard giving one of the younger ones a chance at the gate. And as for smash I would let them play except last time I let them I had to replace my tv. And for calling the parents well they're getting divorced so it's only the mom they can talk to. But I'll still try with these suggestions and if it comes down to it I'll just tie them up

 

[Mediocre]

If they dont obey you no matter what, get something each of them love and break it in front of them. Then get a second thing they love also and use that as a hostage.

You know, that might not make you too popular with the children's parents.

But I'll still try with these suggestions and if it comes down to it I'll just tie them up

I'm pretty sure that would be classified as abuse, and it's kind of illegal.

 

[CrystalMidnight]

Well for the first part you said Mediocre, the kid's parent is my sister, and the second part it's kind of a joke.

 

[Sariku]

Siblings, which can mean older or younger. I have two older siblings, a brother and a sister. Both in their late 20's, when I'm only 14. My sister has a baby. I get along with her great, but my brother hates me. He won't talk to me since I got in a fight with him and said something bad about his mom... we have different moms, but the same dad.

 

[Mediocre]

Well for the first part you said Mediocre, the kid's parent is my sister, and the second part it's kind of a joke.

Ah, the internet joke. I'm not so great at recognizing those.

So, you don't think your sister will mind if you break her children's things? If I was a parent, I would be pretty unhappy if anybody did that, whether they were related to me or not. Of course, you know your sister a lot better than I do.

 

[CrystalMidnight]

I have six older sister and three older brother. Two brothers I've never met and one sister I've never met. Annie, Mandy, Cathy, Sara, Rhonda, and Tanya. Then Billy Johnny and Marcus. Annie has three kids, Mandy five kids, Sara none, Rhonda three kids, Cathy three kids, Tanya probably one, Billy two kids, Johnny one kid, and Marcus might have one. I'm the youngest amounst the siblings. The second youngest is Sara who is 25. I was an aunt before I was born.

 

[Midna]

problem?
answer: get a GameCube (Wii), 4 controllers, SSBM

solved.

 

[CrystalMidnight]

I don't have a Wii and my Game Cube games are one player mostly. And as for having Smash well,last time they played that they tied to break the controllers basically, and I'm not paying extra for my game cube because of them.

 

[Problem2]

They sound like little demons. You need better equipment to take care of them (ie childproof locks or maybe just locks if they're old enough to get through the kiddy stuff).

An off the wall idea that you would probably get in trouble for doing is letting the kids escape and see how long it takes for them to get bored.

 

[CrystalMidnight]

You know what would be nice, if I could make my own hypnosis cd and put headphones on them during the night. Telling them to obey me. I doubt it would work but you never know lol. And let them escape, hell they'd have a blast we have so many lil kids in this neighborhood and they are all lil devils. and if not that, they'd probably get him by cars since they think they're invinceable

 

[pikachun00b7]

Make them sit in a couch. And punish them if they say a word.
If they are that bad, take away their freedom. Maybe next time you babysit them, they will listen to you more.
Oh that four year-old must be too good if he breaks a TV in SSBM. Mindgames, son.

 

[Sinz]

Have them watch super nanny and say your trying to learn some things.

 

[smashman90]

Tell them that if they don't behave then tell them that the bogeyman will get them or something similar to that. That oughta make them behave.

 

[Sinz]

Bring a Horror movie lol, scare em to stay in the room.

 

[Master_Pig]

Don't be too light on them, yet don't be too strict. Just be fair. If they cause trouble, punish them accordingly.

EX. If they make a mess, the punishment should be to clean it up.

 

[CrystalMidnight]

Yea it's just hard with them because when they bring over THEIR ps2 which btw they don't need to, Bre the eldest at 11 years thinks she can control them, by saying it's my game. I've gone off at her I took her away from the game and let the other younge ones play. I've had their mom take it home I've tried being nice but god she just wont quit. I don't understand these kids, I've been fair with them but is it possible that the abuse they've suffered over the years has mentally affected them?? Abuse well they've been hit by their father the 11 year old was basically forced to grow up quickly she to was hit. I just I'm not use to handling these kinds of things. And on top of that theres the divorce going on so is it also possible that subconciously thats affecting them?

 

[Wuss]

I doubt the divorce is affecting any of them except for the 11 year old, and if she seems upset about it and you talk to her, than she will definitely like you better. I know that I was like 4 when my parents divorced, and I didn't know what was going on, although I guess I knew they were fighting...
I babysat this horror kid once as well, and we just said no to everything he asked. That often works, if they ask for something, just deny it, and tell them that they will do something (whatever you want them to do, like watch a movie). If those are the only kids movies you have, you could always rent one, like "Aladdin" (personal favorite of the disney movies).
