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

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

I wonder what she does when she's at school then?

she should really be doing that by herself. My boyfriends sons started doing it themselves at the age of 4. There are some serious parenting issues going on there.

My son couldn't reach properly when he was 4 because he has a rather long torso for his size, but at age 5 he did it himself all the time.

This is more embarrassing than I would like to admit… My cousin is 11 and my aunt still wipes her. My theory is that she always wanted more than one child and her husband didn't want any. She ended with pregnant and later he cheated on her. So, I think she's terrified to let her "baby" grow up. Everyone in my family has told her how disgusting and inappropriate it is. She always makes excuses. Whenever my cousin tells for help my aunt makes things up like "she was out of toilet paper". It's amazing how often we run out of toilet paper in one day...

That's disturbing for your cousin's future

I don't feel you should be embarrassed, only the aunt should. Its a very selfish thing to keep your child relying on you because you don't want to let them go.

What does your cousin do at school? I highly doubt she would be able to get a teacher to wipe her or get her mom to come to the school. Someone should have a serious talk with your aunt. Sadly for your cousin what her mom is doing could really hurt your cousin, especially if at school they found out because she would be heavily bullied for it. Also it's really going to mess with her and make her become dependant on her mom. Which is not good because it doesn't teach her any life skills and when her mom passes away when she's older than she will be screwed. I feel really bad for your cousin. Hopefully your aunt smartens up and realize her baby has to grow up sometime.

YOU certainly have nothing to be embarrassed about!. these people commenting ^ couldn't be any more correct than they are. and since you are obviously very concerned about this yourself.. you should really speak with a few family members that you think would be able to discuss this with your aunt respectfully and where they could possibly get thru to her, you should be with them as well obviously.. pretty much like an intervention I guess.. I really think you can and should help your cousin.

maybe also try talking to your cousin and how she needs to stand up for herself? it could be really awkward or embarrassing for her but she really needs to and your her family. family is supposed to give you your reality checks

Quit. No amount of money is worth doing that.

My little brother is the same way and he'll be 12 in April (he also throws whatever is within reach of him)... I'm just waiting for the day he outgrows it but sadly it doesn't seem to be soon enough. That's what my mom and step-dad get for enabling it I guess. I say let them scream.

Holy he's 12 and can't wipe himself and is still throwing tantrums? I hope you don't find this offensive but is he not capable of wiping himself or does he just not want to? What the heck does he do at school, I doubt a teacher would wipe him. Your parents really need to stop enabling him before things get worse.

Just doesn't want to, he is a little underdeveloped mentally but it's nothing that would prevent him from cleaning himself. Last I knew he just holds it until he gets home from school.

One time I was babysitting my little half-brother (he was about 8 years old) and when he went to the restroom he called out to have me wipe him. I thought he was joking until he started crying saying that he couldn't do it himself. I ended up teaching him how to wipe and my parents still to this day think that he just figured it out himself. If the parents need a babysitter it might mean that they aren't around enough to teach her the essentials.. Hope your job gets easier

At 8 kids are doing long division, taking themselves to school, are in anywhere from 2nd to 4th grade, watching siblings for short periods, have been on compeditive sports team, write in cursive, and typically have chores around the house. Either that kids development is severely stunted, or you got played.
