[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, have you ever heard of the saying, "One kid is one, two kids is ten?" How true it is.

It doesn't sound like you have experience at this point w/multiple children and it doesn't sound like you actually can handle the responsibility of more than one child which is perfectly fine. It IS tough...No argument from me. I am a mother of three and I have raised kids so I have first hand knowledge, but if someone doesn't, then it can be really really tough.

Anyway, I think you should find another position where you are only responsible for one child OP. Caring for two young children, an infant and a pre-schooler is a tough job for anyone, esp. one w/no multiples experience and if you are not prepared, it can wear you out.

I would simply tell the family you simply bit off more than you could chew and that you think you would be more suited for a single child job.

They should understand.

Good luck.[/quote]

Another mom here and I agree with this.  You're right - it's a very tough job to have a toddler and an infant.  But all the behavior you're describing in the toddler is completely normal and the challenges of juggling both children and their individual needs is also normal.  You can absolutely decide it isn't right for you and you should be upfront with the parents.  But don't blame the child.[/quote]
