[quote=Anonymous]I am not working during covid but I did used to work from home and we had a lovely and experienced sitter take care of my two kids, ages 2 and 5 at the time. My 5 year would at times be rude or obstinate and for the most part the babysitter was able to handle--she had multiple grown children so she knew what she was doing. However, a few times I could hear my son say or do something that for me was crossing a line. I would get him and make him sit in my office with a book on tape while sitter took younger child to continue playing. I am not talking 20 minutes...like 2 hours. We also spent some time ahead of sitter's arrival talking about feelings and my expectations. The combo helped and it resolved. Of course my son wasn't perfect but they are kids and nobody is.

Also, I think its important to remember that sitter might do things different and that is ok. Maybe she doesn't care how fast those shorts get on. Its hard to hear your kid be rude to another adult but it probably isn't bothering anyone like it is you. [/quote]
