I have a dcg who is 7 and dcg 3, sisters . They arrive at 6:30 am , they are the first to arrive , the next is 8:30 . They come with a lunch kit full of junk to eat ( which I put up ) they can not sit , at all . I'm having to sit right with them as they both will try to go through my house . My Dayhome is downstairs but I bring them up to watch a movie while I get my dd ready . But it is a gong show !! They literally can not be left for a second . My home is completely open so if I'm making coffee they can see me and I have full view of them but I turned my back and they were right in my Christmas tree .
They start as soon as they come , we are hungry ... Can we eat our cookies ? It is non stop attention until they go !!
Dcg 3 , has no idea how to play and goes from toy to toy or child to child and just causes havoc .
Dcg7 , will play as long as everything is going her way if it doesn't she will either start ignoring the other person playing ( who doesn't understand why she isn't answering ) or screams in their face .
Dcm is ridiculous , no clue to parenting or basic social skills . Telling her anything she just laughs , oh -------- were you doing that ? So no help there !!
I spend my whole day shadowing the 3 yr old (who likes the attention ) and dealing with the 7 yr olds mouth , my mom said I don't have to play with ...,,,, .
I feel kind of done , like I'm not going to have any impact on these girls at all . I mean the 3 yr old was so bad at the 7 yr old Christmas recital mom pulled the 7 yr old off the stage and they went home !!! They have been in my care for 5 months and we have seen 2 'dads' and a restraining order !!
No communication skills , I am told via 7 yr old ---- is picking me up today so then I have to chase down dcm to confirm.
Last month , I had to chase for my pay and explain why I wouldn't just look after the 7 yr old ( her friend would charge cheaper for 3 yr old )
I gave her a discounted price for the 7 yr as the 3 yr was full time .
I think I will get busy write out a new contract for January and raise her rate and let the chips fall where they may .
I'm just not a quitter so this is frustrating for me not to be able to look after these girls !!
But it doesn't matter what I try to do with them they try to manipulate more ! They are truly never happy !!'
We had a party yesterday and they had a cupcake but all I heard all afternoon was they wanted another one , they could see there were some left and they couldn't handle it .
They don't play , sit , read books , colour , everything is done in 5 seconds !! My 2 yr olds will read longer !!
I guess I need to hear that I've tried long enough !!! Or enough ways to teach them or show them !
Believe me all my friends feel like they know these girls because I continually ask them for ideas !!
