Today, I got a new babysitting job. Every time the little girl goes to the bathroom, she screams and cries until I wipe her. She's 7 years old. FML

Her parents have obviously done a shitty job..

That's pretty inappropriate for that age. I would have called the parents and asked what was going on.

Her parents probably spoil her rotten and are extremely overprotective.

Overprotective parents are usually reluctant to leave the child, even with someone they trust.

My 5 year old step son is the same way. His mom doesn't want to clean undies or teach him to wipe so he won't cause he said his mom won't let him.

Brown stained undies, sadly, are part of the learning process. But eventually the kids figure it out.

Or they don't because they are kids and don't care.

It's a kid. It's not that big a deal. Try doing what I do for a living, taking care of elderly people. Grown adults who need help not only wiping, but showering as well. Then come back and complain to me about how wiping a child's ass is "gross." Side note: I actually love my job for the most part. I'm just saying that compared to doing the same thing with adults, wiping a kid is hardly a big deal.

I want to know what she does when she's at school.

I'd let her scream and cry because I still wouldn't wipe her. I had a 6 year olds mother try to tell me to wipe her son, didn't happen. I made him do it by himself

Yeah, OP could try to just talk her through it. It takes a lot of patience, but might succeed where the parents failed.

We talked my niece through it when we would babysit her, and she stop asking someone to wipe her by the time she was 4.

Jesus, that's disgusting. Definitely have a talk with the parents...

I know it's not necessarily your job to teach her to do this, but lots of gentle encouragement and positive reinforcement will probably be the best action. Hopefully she'll grow out of it very soon!

very true^ plus since you're her babysitter you're likely with her for a good amount of time so you helping her as well would speed up the process a bit you just have to stand your ground. the sooner she learns both how to do it and that she can't scream and cry to get her way..the better

She should be doing that by herself by now. Her parents really should have taught her a long time ago.

I'd let her scream and cry because 1. she should be doing that herself 2. I don't listen to people who scream at me

She's manipulating you and you are at high risk for a false molestation accusation. Talk to the parents. Tell her she's old enough to be performing her own personal hygiene while the parent are present. Never do this for her again.
