My little cousin

One thing that a child can't do is blackmail someone much older than them. Even if she did tell lies about you being an awful babysitter, I would think that her mother is more likely to believe you because you would be more mature. Whereas some kids are compulsive liars. If I were you, I'd speak with her mother about it and ignore the girl's threats. Her mother would need to know, so that she will know that it's wrong and may avoid getting into trouble at school. And unless the young girl admits it herself, is caught out or if you get evidence, the only way her mother will know is if you tell her.

Tell her mom. That would actually be doing your job. Presumably she would want to know about behaviour problems. You've tried to correct & reason with the child. The next step is to let her mother know so she can correct it.

If they fired you over this, then they are seriously weird, and really not the kind of family you want to be working for.

Kids swear all the time. I think it would be more abnormal for a kid not to like swearing. I remember when I was a kid and found out some words made people offended I wanted to use them even more. I loved watching peoples angry reactions to offensive things when growing up. Just think about when you were a kid. Did you swear and even if you got in trouble only learn not to swear around whoever trys to get you in trouble? Kids will also swear less if they don't think its funny, so stop making such a reaction to those words. Words are only as powerful as you let them be. Maybe your cousin will look up to you more if she thinks your cool enough to be herself around. My advise would be to stop being such a lame fucking cousin.

I think you should leave her alone and let her swear. Is it really all that bad? They are just words! I think it is cute for kids to cuss.

I've been swearing since i was six. people normally start to swear because they know its bad and want to look bad. it then just turns into a habit and BOOM there you go... thats why she swears

umm well since she's your cousin. i doubt her mom will really fire you. and just stop telling the girl that you're going to tell her mom. just tell her already.

She's just prepping for middle school.

There is worse she can be doing. Trust me.

Probably she swears because she thinks it is cool and she looks like an adult doing so. Then I would treat her as an adult and tell her you dont toletare any adult speaking to you like that, and you choose friends who dont speak to you like that, so you dont find any difference between other people and her. And you feel embarrassed hearing her swearing.It is up to her to decide. I am sure there are more children in the neighbourhood you could babysit... and she knows it, so if you stop babysitting her, SHE will have to explain her mum WHY...

What a little brat.
Tell her mother and get a better job.

um tell YOUR mom and let YOUR mom deal w/ it!

litttle kids some times think that swearing it ok well they havent learned right from wrong i say u get a camera and video tape her and show it to her mom

Pretty normal I think, everyone goes through it usually. What if you talk about it to her?
