18yr. old and 10yr. old

Question

Ok...so my parent's friends brought their kids over for the summer to hang out with us. I'm currently 18 and the two kids I have to entertain with are 12 and 10 (the girl being 10). We get along fine...I don't mind playing with them sometimes...the girl is taking a liking to me...I don't mind her...well...she likes hitting me a lot...and from past experiences...when your at that age...it means she likes me...lol...she did make some attempts to sit on my lap...but I push her off...(cause its wrong!)...anyways...what should I do?

Answer 1

leave  

Answer 2

if she is hitting you, she is probably testing to see how far she can push before you hit her back. (thats a bit concerning, especially for a ten year old)  When she climbs on you, just tell her you dont like people sitting on your lap.  keep an eye out for any other sexualised behaviour like kissing or touching and then I'd say something to your mum.  sounds pretty innocent at this stage, just be consistent in disouraging her.  

Answer 3

alert her mother coz if you try to let her down gently, she will likely say you have done things, you know what kids can be like.

Answer 4

Don't even think about it.

This is a S**t storm waiting to happen and NOTHING GOOD can come of what your are thinking.

You are their caretaker...period.

Answer 5

invite your friends with little siblings over

Answer 6

you could try talking to her

Answer 7

Have you told your parents about this girl's behavior towards you, and how uncomfortable it makes you feel?? If not, I'd do that ASAP, because if this girl does this once too often, or at the wrong time or place, and someone sees her in that position, YOU could end up in JAIL, pal. You need to tell your parents, yes, and you ALSO NEED to say something to this girl's PARENTS. They need to be told about their daughter's behavior so that they can put a stop to it. It makes no difference if this girl has a crush on you or not- if she acts like this, and you do nothing to stop it ( or worse, if it appears that you are encouraging her to do it) then it really could put you in serious trouble with the law.

You are a legal adult now- and this means you need to be VERY CAREFUL when it comes to your interactions with young children, particularly those of the opposite gender, if you don't want to spend the rest of your life having to register with the police as a s*x offender. I am also concerned about this "hitting you a lot" business you have mentioned. I assume what you are trying to say is that this child is trying to "come on" to you, in a way that is very inappropriate. That makes me wonder where she learned about s*x and sexual behavior- and why she's exhibiting it towards you. Could she be a victim of sexual abuse? It's not normal for a 10 year old girl to have this level of knowledge about s*x. I think she may be acting out behavior which she has seen somewhere, or which she has experienced herself. Either way, you need to speak up and tell her parents about what she's doing to you, before she gets you in trouble.

Good luck.  

Answer 8

Let their mother, or your mother know what she's doing. Say "Hey, so and so here keeps crawling all over me and It's getting annoying and doesn't look right." Keep your distance from her, NEVER allow yourself to be alone with her. I'm sure she doesn't realize what she's doing, and she thinks it's harmless but all you need is someone to say something about it and you'll be sitting behind bars.

Answer 9

Try to get out of the house, or have neighbor kids over their age to play with them. Maybe shell find a boy her age:) or closer, and not you.

Answer 10

constantly push her off let her know that , that is wrong without telling her...if she continues tlk 2 her mom...maybe she can do something about it

Answer 11

Just keep being consistent.  She'll give up after a while.  It's probably a crush, though so be aware of that and be sensitive without going overboard.  

Do try to get some alone time for yourself, though.  It's probably going to be a long few weeks!

Answer 12

get out of the house!  have your girlfriend over !  always keep the 12 year old around!  other than that, theres not really much that you can do until they leave, at which point she'll probably stop liking you. remember, its only until the end of august.

Answer 13

i dunno give them board games or take them outside and tell her she cant  sit on you my brothers 18 and I'm 14 we just ignore each other he has his own computer room and i have a computer in my bedroom so idk much about 18yr olds  

Answer 14

oh wow haha. that must be awkward for u. well wat i wud do is just play along with it (jokingly) i used to have to babysit and these 6 y/o boys wud start liking me. i wud just joke about it to them (but they obviously took it seriously) it didnt matter though cuz i wasnt gonna c them everyday for the rest of my life. so i wud just be like "oh yeah ur my little boyfriend huh?" and they wud agree but it was just cute. and all the adults knew i was kidding and they wud just laugh along.  

Answer 15

Thank God. I thought you were going to be one of those creeps saying" Whats wrong with 18 and 10". At least you know it's wrong. You can't really do anything about it. Sometimes because they are so young to not upset them you have to go along with it.
