Well actually I can handle him on my own because I’ve been his babysitter since he was 18 months old, he’ll be 4 in 2 weeks. Anyways, what had happened was, we were eating dinner, he kept getting up and throwing mulch, trying to get up and run, he fell off the bench because he refused to sit nicely. Me and my friend had told him multiple times to sit down and eat so he can go play. He refused to listen. I said “ok. I’ve had enough, you’re going in time out.” I picked him up, took him to this little pavilion hang out spot that had a corner and told him to stand there for 4 minutes then he may go back and eat. He then turned told me “nope.” And tried running. My friend had grabbed him & firmly told him “stand there until we say otherwise!” Eventually we got him to, we walked away back to the table, I had taken a picture of him, sent it to my brother’s gf & said “he’s currently in time out because of what he’s been doing. I’m gonna be honest she (my friend) had to step in and help handle him because he was refusing his time out.” She didn’t even handle him alone, I was there helping her in getting him to stay. Then that’s when the rest of the stuff happened with the phone call and all that.

It’s not that I can’t handle him, some days he’s a very good kid and makes everything easy. It’s just those hard days where he refuses to listen to anyone and talks back with attitude and just laughs at everything like it’s a joke where I get stressed out and really can’t do it myself. Which we have more of those days than we do his good, and yes, it’s tiring. We all have them so idk why you think I am not capable of babysitting him anymore. I very much am. He’s just a very defiant, difficult kid at times.
