[quote=Anonymous]I’ve been dating a guy with a 10-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son. He asked me to babysit overnight once for a work trip, which I agreed to, but now it’s happening often—weekends and sometimes school days.

The kids are really sweet, but the 7-year-old is very challenging at times—he hits, kicks, and throws tantrums, especially when it’s time for bed, or to get ready for school. He also doesn’t listen well, so I often have to repeat myself. The 10 year old behaves well though. They’re both very picky eaters and demand different meals, and they’re pretty addicted to screens.

That said, things have improved since I started babysitting them. We’ve been playing board games and cards, reading together, and I try to get them outside, which helps a bit—but it’s still tough.

I struggle with saying no, because I don’t want to disappoint him, and I genuinely enjoy babysitting them, even though it can be difficult.

I’m unsure whether I should continue babysitting or start being more firm and say no more often.
