I NEED URGENT ASSISTANCE

Today, I have watched the Elmo's World episode featuring balls ten times in a row. The toddler I'm watching screams if I put on something different. His mom just said she was stuck in traffic. She should be back in about five and a half more replays. FML

I guess i should b grateful that my son likes 2 movies, cars & cars 2; much longer, less repetition

I feel for you dude, i don't like kids at the best of times

I'm tempted to claw my eyes out just reading this.

It is possible to babysit without watching tv, you know. Crazy, out-of-the-box thinking, I know.

I did the same thing at that age with the smurfs. My mom and my sisters hated me for it. There was only one to on the house and it was mine. Lol Sorry you have to deal with it.

I've no idea how long 5 and a half replays of an Elmo episode are, but I bet it's longer than a toddler can scream continuously without getting tired or distracted. Even if it isn't - don't give in to his demands. If you ever babysit that same kid again, he's going to pull the exact same crap on you again whenever there's something he doesn't want to do. Just put your foot down, it's a little kid and not a fearsome dragon that'll eat you if you don't comply.

I'd take Elmo over the wiggles any day of the week!!!! try having that replayed from breakfast until dinner every day for 5 years lol. at least my siblings out grew it before I jumped off a bridge

This is how my little sister used to be with the lion king, but I guess it's more tolerable when the kid is someone you love lol

Hell, I'm the one that screams if anyone interrupts my Lion King marathon.

If you distract him he'll scream for about 3 minutes. Tops. Or you can let yourself be bullied by an infant, but that's totally up to you.

*shudder* I've felt your pain OP. My ex's little cousin watched the same episode of Animal Mechanicals over and over for eight hours straight while we were visiting once. It's been a little over six years and I STILL get the song stuck in my head occasionally. Worse still, his mom was present the entire time and allowed it. I think she just sort of gave up, poor lady lol

Im a no Bs kind of mom, i wouldnt stand for the screaming. I hope you get a handle on your sanity and possibly put your foot down about replaying it. It's one thing to do it every once in a while, but honestly sounds like they got you doing everything they want in a bad way. But hey, Im not you. Id hope a sitter/nanny/daycare would not give in every time cause Id be stuck with the repercussions of them giving in as well, and with three kids of my own, no.. Just no.
