the woes of babysitting

I want to know what happened to the little girl that I used to babysit. The one who asked nicely for things, said please and thank you, excuse me and bless you, and didn’t have to be told 15 times to do something, and eventually yelled at just to get her to sit down because she just kicked the dog. I want to know there the little girl went that played with the dogs, instead of teasing them with her food and thinking it’s funny to poke them with forks, and kick them off the bed.

I know she’s just a kid, and it’s a part of growing up, but damn it how did she go from such a great little girl to one that constantly has me yelling because she won’t listen to a damn thing I say. And then when she DOES listen she does what I tell her and then says ‘you can’t tell me what to do’ or some shit.

I love her to death, but I am so damn tired of having to repeat things a thousand times, and wondering if I’m a horrid person for yelling at her because she won’t sit down the first 15 times I ask her to.

I’m sure this would be easily solved and fixed by spanking her and sticking her in a corner, but my dad did that to me when I was young and to say the least we’re not close so I really want to avoid it at all costs, but sometimes it’s certainly hard.
