      • Hahaha true. I just get angry with how non perceptive people tend to be, it's always "here and now" "me me me" and it seems to make them forget the simple truth. I blame liberal idiots.

          I understand that. Ignorance is frustrating, especially when it can endanger others.
          I blame idiots whom claim to be liberal but are not. They've left the term 'liberal' lost in translation. Half of them don't even look up what liberalism is before claiming it.

            liberalism is peeking your head above the foxhole, at best :) conservatism is laying at the lowest point of the hole in your own shit ;)

            i agree, though--"liberal" is a buzzword. just like socialism, equality, justice, etc.

            • Conservatism is flawed as hell but atleast looks in the direction of "the greater good" even if it's not going to achieve it. Liberalism is "me me me" but under a guise of morality. I was a very Liberal person when i just took things at surface value, but one day i just changed, it suddenly sickened me when i thought of it's long term repercussions. Most of all that guise of more "freedom" being the same thing as "progressing"....it will end in tears and blood for lack of order and control.

    Have you ever thought that the 5 year old might not like you?

    Are you engaging him with anything like reading, snack preparation, crafts, play? He sounds like he wants attention. Also its OK to gently correct and redirect a child if they are acting rude - talk to the parents about the misbehaviour and what to do first. Also keep in mind that some kids get cranky when tired. Anyway try to get past your frustration and connect with the kid and if you can't maybe this is not the gig for you.

    You're not supposed to stand. You're supposed to sit.

    this sounds like my girlfriend...she works at a summer camp where she is a one-on-one "buddy" for a five year old who's a little different.

    he's just a kid though. no bad can have really been done by him, especially at age 5.

    do your best to nurture him and be his friend. give him good reason to be nicer. affirm for him through your example that there is benefit to being kind. its not that hard :)

    Don't babysit. Chances are that most of the kids you'll babysit will be brats. Why do you think the parents left him in your hands? They obviously need a break!
