Hi Everyone! It's been a while since I have posted.
I have been watching a 2 year old girl 2 days a week for almost a year. Her mother asked if I could also watch her rising first grader. I figured, since it was just for the summer, and since it was just 2 days a week, it wouldn't be a big deal. I also felt like if I didnt watch both of them, then I would lose the 2 year old on a regular basis.
Today is the first day with the sibling. Now I see why a lot of you dont take school agers.
This child talks all day long. I cant get a break from the talking. And her little sister is super clingy and whiny around her and wont stop whining. At nap time, the little sister got out of her cot (which never happens). I told her it was bed time. The big sister ran up to her and gave her a hug, which made her cry more, waking up ALL of the other naptime children. The older sister is saying that her little sister is sad and missing her mother, and that she acts different and sad at my house.
UGH! So now I feel like the big sister is going to tell the mom that she is unhappy here. I dont know what to do with the older one. Nap time is also a time when I relax a bit or catch up, and this kid literally wont stop asking me questions and stop talking. Ugh! What do I do with this kid?
