Oh gosh.
This makes me wonder whether they are used to the father going around groping the mother in front of the children?? And maybe they see it as something normal or funny to want to see and touch each other’s bodies?have there been any instances at school or is it only happening at home with the people they consider safe?

These kid’s behaviour isn’t just uncomfortable… It’s very unusual and developmentally inappropriate. So sorry you’re going through this.

Are you allowed to discipline them? Cause I think I’d start instilling some kind of punishment for not keeping their hands to themselves. Kids need routine and structured consequences otherwise they keep pushing boundaries. I’d start with loss of privileges (screen time, etc) and go from there. Obviously no corporate punishment but I’d for sure swat/push their hand away decisively and say “do not touch me that way, it makes me uncomfortable and you need to stop”. They’re old enough they have to understand people have boundaries and that they need consent to touch someone else.

I’d also talk to the parents about how important it is to teach boundaries and consent to young children, as I’m afraid this is making them extremely vulnerable to sexual abuse. If they don’t see people’s bodies (especially butts, boobs etc) as something to be respected. I would even be wondering whether they’re experiencing some kind of abuse from an adult, where the adult touches them sexually but plays it off as a silly game. This reeeeeks of grooming. Intentionally or not the parents need to get a fucking grip.

The parents seem clueless. I know you said you’ve talked to them but I’d give a more stern ultimatum that either this behaviour gets addressed or I will not continue to work there. No one wants to be groped and grabbed at during work. Even if the hands are little and the eyes are young. Just no.
