You Know You Are A Daycare Provider When...

[DaycareMama]

When you have a party at your house and you ask adults if they washed their hands when they come out of the bathroom

I have asked my husband if he had to go to the bathroom before we left the house

I am always "pre cutting" EVERYONES food into tiny pieces

I sit down to eat lunch with the kids....and the baby(10 mo.) sneezes, bits of carrot included, ALL over my plate. I look at it for a second and decide since the baby isn't sick it is still ok at eat....

Welcome to my life

Wait a minute....you SIT at lunch??????

When you meet your dh at the door and say about 100 times more words per minute that anyone thought was humanly possible because you haven't talked to a grownup all day. Then you follow him to the washroom still talking.....then he closes the door and you keep talking. ::

and don't forget the phone too, dh keeps telling me he has to eat, I tell him he can eat and listen at the same time

I'm constantly yelling at my own kids if they have to go potty, my oldest is 13 and youngest is 7

Welcome to my life

I need a gag icon now! ::

Hey if it doesn't bother you more power to ya but no way no how here in my group. I would go hungry 1st.

I can relate to so many of these! Especially talking on and on to any adult who will listen! I have also went as far as to still have my sweet child friendly voice when speaking to them.

Oh and when you know the sounds, grunts, smells of each child without looking up!

When random baby in the family vomited, I picked her up immediately and wiped her mouth with my hand. Her own dad looked at me like I had two heads (clearly dry heaving) and said "Did you just wipe the vomit from her mouth with your hand? I can't believe you have the stomach for that!" I said "I don't know...did I???"

Hey...I'm in the business. Sometimes 'fluids' come with the job!!!

When noone is allowed to leave the house without lining up for their potty turn first. But it's the weekend and your kids are teenagers.

When a baby sneezes directly into your mouth and you aren't nearly as grossed out as you should be.

When you look down and don't see too many boogie trails on your jeans so you run to the store anyway because you have a long jacket and it kinda covers it up.

I do that with my pants, if I don't have too much boogers than the pants are just fine.

when your dck's are talking to you and are spitting all over your face and glasses and then ask why are your glasses wet.

I am laughing so hard right now....Great Thread!

When you walk around with booger tissue in your coat pocket
When you are out in public and waiting in line for the bathroom you notice the girl ahead of you didn't wash her hands so you say....Excuse me you forgot to wash your hands she says so and you say that's gross get back in here and wash your hands!
When a kid is throwing up and other grown ups are gagging and it doesn't even bother you.
When a child is screaming at the top of their lungs and it doesn't even phase you...you just keep going on with what you were doing.
When a baby has a poopy blow out of the diaper and you find it funny because their is poo everywhere. Your to focused on the funny faces the baby is making!
When your puppy bites you in a playful way and you say ouch that hurts Miss Karen is not for biting or I am not for hurting.

When your friend says to you "ummmm, did you know you have a booger on the back of your sweatshirt?" and you still wear it home.

I was talking about this with someone on the chat forum the other day...

When you smell someone dirtied their diaper and you know exactly who did it by the smell.

when your DCKs say to you "I have a tummy ache and no, I dont have to go poop"

I had a dcm ask how I can stand all the screaming. I actually had to stop and listen for a minute to realize all 4 boys were yelling at top volume! It was a playful yell, so I tuned it completely out.
