11. That is so wrong and needs to be corrected!

" They tell me that I am not their Mom and they don't have to go to their rooms because I am working for them."

WRONG!

1) You do -not- work for them... you work for their parents.

2) You are the adult in charge, so they need to listen to you.

The next time you go there, before the parents leave, discuss this with the parents, and make sure the parents reinforce this, specifically reinforcing the going to room thing. If the parents won't, definitely find another job, because it's just a matter of time before you get an out right rebellion. What are you going to do if the 14 yo thinks he can leave the house on his own and ends up getting hurt? You'll still be responsible for his actions.
