He is almost 5 and he won't stop hitting me, getting into my stuff, or call me names, like undieman, retard, stupid, ******, *****, or dinba$$. My parents don't think he does it because he won't do it around them just whilie I am babysitting him. And he will turn the whole story around to make it look like I was the bad person.

Get a tape recorder, record him and play it back for your parents.

You must talk to your parents alone when your little brother is not around. If he hitting you see if he has left a bruise. If he has show your parents these marks. Also, do you have some kind of recording device, put it on when you babysit him and then you'll be able to play it back to your parents. I don't know how old you are, but you have to over 12 years old to to left alone in the house and if you are not your parents will get into trouble. Unless you are over the age of 14, I don't think you should be babysitting your brother anyway. If he won't stop and your parents are still not acting on it, refuse to babysit. They cannot make you babysit.

First of all, this is learned behaviour. He had to have picked up that kind of talk from somewhere - if not from you or your husband, then likely from daycare. So switch daycares if that is the case. And secondly, you are the parent here! You need to be persistent with your discipline. Giving up on it will only teach the kid that he needs to be a just little more persistent than you in order to get his way. Also, you could try spending some one-on-one time with him each day, since having a new baby in the house may be affecting him and perhaps he is just lashing out for attention.

The most disturbing thing in this scenario: Your little brother has learned this from somewhere. Children are not born knowing words like a***** and b******. How old are you and how frequently are you left in charge to babysit?? If you are 14 or more, then that's one thing, but if you are younger....possibly laws as well as good judgment are being broken.
Talk to a trusted adult out of the family, if possible. There are some bad family dynamics going on here.
Good luck to you and your family.

if he hits you hit him back or hold him down while you are baby sitting him you are in charge dont let him get away with that and if he calls you names wash his mouth out with soap and if he gets into your things make him sit in the corner the whole time it takes you to put everything back where it was just because he is almost 5 doesnt give him the right to be a brat i wouldnt take that crap from a 2 yr old just be careful with him to dont hit him hard

Have some other girls over on nights when you have to babysit him. When he starts hitting you, have two girls hold him down while another girl takes his hands and another girl takes his ankles and then carry him to his room and hold him on the bed. When he is on the bed, have all the girls give him a makeover by dressing him like a girl and if he uses bad words have the girls wash his mouth out with soap.

Do things to show him how it feels to be hurt. he is smart enough to understand because he does not do this in front of your parents. Leave a little evidence to look like he got into your mothers dresser drawers. Or even hide a tape recorder to record him doing this with out him knowing. Ask your partnts for a little recorder to do this so they can see. Just show him that it is not nice to hurt people feelings.

take a moment with both of your parents away from your brother and explain what has been happening and that you dont appreciate the fact that he is hitting you and you being reprimanded for it. you need to tell them this when they are alone and everything is calm. when you sit them down, they will realize that this is a problem. that boy needs to be disciplined because he will become worse and even begin to disrespect your parents if he isn't already.

When your parents are away play a game and dress him like a little girl. He will probably enjoy it. Take lots of pictures. Threaten to show them to other people if he is ever mean to you again.

You need to tape what he says. It is not normal for a 4 year old to use language like that. Something is not right with him.
