hi,
i have been looking after two brothers (8 & 5) 3 days a week after school for almost a year now. the older boy is in my ds year at school. in the last couple of weeks there have been more and more incidents that made me rethink my position. i understand that after schoolies are full of beans after sitting in a class room for 6 hours but these two are difficult to handle. they wind my 3 year old up, don't listen when i tell them not to do certain things because the little one copies them (climbing the fence, shouting "my sons name - i am killing you") and today the older one swore badly.
are these enough reasons to give notice? mum knows about the issues and the older boy is often in trouble at school but she has to work full time and relies on breakfast club, her parents and me. i would feel bad but i don't want my children to be around some one that swears and over all don't have manners.
am i being unprofessional or unreasonable?
any input would be appreciated, i feel as if i am in a right pickle here.
