Kid hitting/peeing on me? (Nanny) RSS feed

Anonymous
So I'm a nanny and of of the kids is almost 5.
He hits me, kicks me, pees on me, spits on me, and throws everything in sight at me. The throwing/hitting I am understanding on. But he just pees on me for no reason at all. He will literally just pull down his pants if my back is turned on him if I'm tending to his sister, and he will literally just PEE on me. I have told the parents and their response is simply "Ignore him, don't put him in time out."

Am I missing something here? If I had a child who was almost 5 PEEING on my nanny, I would NOT allow it. They don't tell
Him to apologize or that it's wrong, but instead, come home and reward him with toys because they feel guilty about being at work all day.

I don't even know what I'm looking for, maybe just a place to rant because I can't seem to understand it? Has anyone ever dealt with situations like this? Or situations where the kids are completely out of line and the parent's just allow it?

I would be looking for a new job and leave immediately as soon as you can. It is inexcusable that the parents think it is okay for their child to be peeing on other people.

Quit. I've worked as a special needs nanny to a child with autism. I've been bitten, spit at, hit, pinched, and had my hair pulled. I have NEVER been intentionally urinated on by ANY child. Ever. Inexcusable. How much are they paying you to be treated like this?

I would absolutely quit. No way this situation will improve.

I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt here, and not assume you are trolling with this outrageous story.

Unless this child has severe special needs, there is NO EXCUSE for his behavior. You are not a toilet, OP.

If the parents accept and/or excuse this behavior, then they can deal with the consequences when you quit.

Find a new position, and give only the notice you are contractually obligated to give. If you haven't got a contract, tell them at the end of the day on a Friday once your check has cleared that you are DONE and will never be back.

And if you find a new job and they want you to start ASAP, screw the contract, and walk away.

If anyone ever questions your decision to leave with little or no notice, say this:

"My older charge started deliberately urinating on me when he was X years old. His parents would not allow me to discipline him in any way when he did this or other unacceptable behaviors. Therefore, I left that position ASAP."

This is absolutely unacceptable behavior OP, on both the parent and the child's part.

I strongly blame the parents here. They have the power and authority to help this boy cease this abusive behavior, yet they are either clueless or too lazy to do so.

This only makes your job much tougher which is totally inconsiderate of them. Totally.

I cannot believe they are telling you to not put him in a time-out. It doesn't matter if they feel guilt for being at work all day, they are doing no favors to their son in the long run regarding this unacceptable behavior.

Since you already have tried talking to the parents and have gotten nowhere, your only option now is to give them your walking papers and move on and away from this family.

If you truly need the money now, you can always stay until you find a new position. But I advise you to start looking. Stat.

Oh my God, you have got to be trolling! Of course there is no reason for any five-year-old to urinate on another person!!!! QUIT. And tell the parents why you are quitting. That kid is SICK.
