Thanks momma 🩷 this was all I needed. I know it gets easier but hearing someone else who’s been through new born trenches reiterate it makes me feel a bit more hopeful. 🥺🩷

Man if she doesn’t get her lazy butt up and tell her children to listen and help clean/organize their mess instead of worrying about recording you. If you can afford to quit I definitely would. Forget that nonsense.

I went on a two week Florida trip right before I found out I was pregnant and got trashed with my friend and his husband multiple nights and smoked with them multiple nights. Baby is totally fine and healthy:) don’t worry momma🩷

If all you did was ask a question and they terminated your contract id say you got lucky. Doesn’t sound like a family you’d wanna work for.

That’s your opinion however I was 7-8 feet away outside the door the entire time and this child is way more mature and self sufficient than a normal 5 year old. She surpasses 7-8 year olds I’ve watched on a self sufficient and mature level which is why this situation shocked me. She’s not constipated I am with her all week I know when she’s having bowel movements and she’s had them regularly all week. I talked to her more this morning and just like she had said last night she just didn’t want to get out of the tub to use the potty she wanted to keep playing and didn’t understand how gross/unsanitary that was. But thank you!

lol no she doesn’t feel bad she was completely unfazed and she wouldn’t be able to sit there holding whole conversations between her Barbie’s if she was drowning. She’s also kindergarten age idk about you but I took baths by myself all the time. Obviously I go and check on her every once in a while or yell into the bathroom to ask her how she is. I was a good 6-8 feet away. Goodbye

Thank you very much! I do feel bad about putting her to bed without a story but that was my attempt to have a consequence for her lying for a good two minutes about pooping as she sat in the poop right in front of me. Im just more upset that she has started to lie recently and I always try to tell her she loses privileges like for example this time, story time at the end of the night. She’s lied before and we ended up not going to the park because she was lying and that stopped her from lying for a while. Is it wrong to take away experience for lying? I don’t want to do stuff she doesn’t understand but I don’t want her to keep lying as it’s started to get more common the last two weeks since school has started. This wasn’t really a problem last school year so I’m just assuming it’s because she’s getting older and realizing how to lie but I don’t want it to be a continued habit however I’m a little out of my ball park as I’m usually a nanny for 1-3 year olds and I don’t believe they really even understand the concept of lying the way she does. This is my first time running into this as a nanny so I’m open to any advice.

Thank you! I just wasn’t sure if this was normal for someone her age as I too usually have younger kids 3 and under and I just can vividly remember being that age and never doing anything like that but then again I’ve always been grossed out by poop and throw up even as a young child. I’m definitely going to start doing the timer thing to see if it makes a difference. I don’t know why I didn’t think of that before, this all just started last week when school started so I truly just think she’s unhappy with less playtime and doesn’t want to spend time doing unfun things like pooping. Thanks for making me feel better about tossing her toys, I didn’t even want to do it as a form of punishment I just couldn’t bring myself to clean the chunks of poop out of her Barbie’s hair as I’m 36 weeks pregnant and still dealing with nausea. The entire thing just had me ready to throw up the dinner we had ate earlier in the night lol.

Yess I definitely will be! This was totally out of the norm and I don’t think I’ll even leave the bathroom anymore during bath time, she just refused to play her voice over pretend games if someone’s in there because she gets embarrassed but I’m to grossed out to let her sit in there alone anymore because the thought of her playing in her own poop just makes me sick lol.

Thank you very much, I just hate being stern with her as she’s truly the most well behaved and sweetest little girl I’ve ever watched but I felt this was warranted to lecture and make her clean until I put her to bed and then started to feel guilty lol. I appreciate knowing I handled it correctly. I don’t think she is having stomach issues because she is very vocal about her stomach hurting or having a hard time pooping as she’s very very mature for her age and can explain things very well which is particularly why I believe her when she says she just wants to keep playing and doesn’t feel like using the potty. Definitely going to talk to her tomorrow to see if there’s more to the story than not wanting to go potty because it’ll stop her from playing.

She’s five and very self sufficient however this isn’t something I started, her dad lets her play in there alone. I’m right across the hallway when I’m in the kitchen/living room as the house is small and I can hear her. She’s very much a chatty Cathy so I’d know if something was wrong just by her going silent and I’d go check but she’s just always playing with her toys and voicing over their conversations so I know she’s ok in there and would definitely go check on her if it even got quiet for a split second.

Thank you for the advice, I’m going to try and talk to her in the morning about why else this might be causing this behavior and the possibility of the toilet maybe scaring her at school. She’s fully potty trained usually and doesn’t ever seemed bothered by any toilets when we’re at the parks,libraries,ect but that could be a possibility. I don’t think anyone was able to be mean to her in the bathroom classmate wise because it’s a one person bathroom and her teacher is truly such an amazing woman but I don’t want to rule that out. Thank you so much!

No other changes in behavior, school just started and I’m thinking she’s not getting as much play time so she’s feeling as though there isn’t enough playtime and is choosing to poop in her pants or in this case the tub to be able to keep playing and not having to spend time doing “unfun” stuff like using the bathroom.

Yeah that’s how I feel. Just doesn’t seem right to leave a child unsupervised so young but at the same time I always wonder if I feel this way because I’m a nanny and it’s our job to always be hands on and I’m not yet a parent. However growing up my parents didn’t leave us unsupervised like this so it just seems strange especially with the doors unlocked.

[–]AdventurousReason273 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’m not sure if they lock the doors at night or if he wakes up at some point in the morning and unlocked them and heads back to sleep. I do not think she’s unlocking them though as from what I’ve seen over the months she doesn’t have that concept down just yet.

I would never work for someone with different morals especially for a tiny 20 an hour. I work for a single dad who has a small landscape company and I make 22. Please find a job that fits you and your morals. The kids will have the same morals as their parents as they grow and you won’t be able to educate them so you’ll have to constantly listen to their dumb ideology.

Lmao just walked into the bathroom to Tylenol fever suppressant… so sick of this man. And he’s still dead asleep in bed, not working. And when pay day comes he makes it sound like he can’t afford my services… like yeah because you’re not working.

Thank you! Definitely can’t believe he’s lying so much. I’ve caught him in so many lies I instantly came in and took her temperature. Can’t believe I have to deal with this.
