The bean is…dare I say it…a PAIN! He is soooo needy! DRA-MA-QUEEN! One problem with watching someone elses kid is that you can’t teach them the way that you think they ought to have been taught. I think the bean everytime he cries has been picked up, because the second he gets upset he just whines, and whines, and WHINES, at the top of his lungs. Like someone is killing him. All he did was roll over. He thinks it is the end of the world that he rolled over, or is in his bouncer for more than 5 mins. P-nut was such a good baby. I feel sorry that this kid is so…bad!
Right now as I type this, the bean is sleeping [he’s only been here for 2 hours] and the p-nut is watching sesame street yelling at the top of his lungs…ELMO! I put the bean back in bedroom this time so that p-nut’s loud talking wouldn’t wake him up. The bean’s first nap is usually only 30 mins. I’m praying it will be longer today. I’m also hoping that his “needy” behaviour is because he has a cold and doesn’t feel well. He won’t be here very long today. His Dad is coming to pick him up early…thank goodness! It is only 9 am and I’m already having a bad day.
This is the hardest work I’ve ever done! I should have asked for more money

Yeah, I’m about to pull my hair out! Let’s just say I can’t handle the “neediness” and “constant crying” too well. Hopefully it is all just because he doesn’t feel well. Then again maybe that is just how they have brought him up so far.

Southern Fried Mom Said:
Girl, I am with you!!!! I decided to stay home after my second child was born, and for the last two years have been caring for someone else’s kids a couple of days a week to supplement the income. Looks good on paper—some extra money, we’re home anyway & I get to be with my kids. (I worked outside the home when my first child was younger). I have worked with children all my adult life & I found that it is way more difficult after you have your own…there is no way to love (or LIKE) everyone the same. It can be frustrating, but each child is different, and try to remind yourself that although the bean is not an easy baby, you can find some redeeming qualities. The routine will come. In the meantime, the baby swing will be your best friend! As the children get older, I’ve found subtle differences in personalities and family dynamics to be fascinating. Also frustrating, as I am very laid back & find humor in lots of things…could not believe one of the older kids in my care was not allowed to pee outside! That was culture shock for me. My 6 year old does it in the front yard! Names for privates was another difference…we have always used a euphemism for the genetalia (the goober & the boys). Other Kid says penis. He thinks goober is a bad word. So, then I have to explain that “at our house ‘goober’ is not a bad word..we say it all the time.” See what you have to look forward to? BTW, thanks for the comment & link. I’m so gonna blogroll you when I figure out how to do it…
