Least Favorite Aspect of Baby/Child Care

[SilverSabre25]

Not necessarily daycare related, just in general.

I hate wiping runny noses. Snot is gross.

I also don't like being drooled on by other people's kids. Just squicks me out for some reason.

And spoon feeding babies is boring and messy and frustrating.

Haha........I always tell my hubby that this job would be PERFECT, if people would just quit dropping off their kids!

But seriously, the worst part for me is dealing with an annoying parent.

Mainly it is runny noses. I don't expect them to stay home but having a constant stream of goo to wipe makes me feel ill. Finding dried white streaks on my clothes at the end of the day makes me want to boil myself in hot water. I wear scrub jackets over my tops partly for the pockets and partly to keep my clothes clean.

I would have to say wiping the snotty noses as well as the drooling. It grosses me out!

All the plastic junk. The straws, the lids, the plastic spoons, the pacifiers and bottles and nipples, and bottle rings.

Whining!

feeding babies. I love when they can hold their own bottles or cups and eat finger foods. Before that, I kind of feel trapped.

Don't love snot, either, but fortunately, we've had only one round of colds so far this winter, and are currently snot free.

hahaha! Love it!

Mine is the snail trail of snot on each of my shoulders at the end of the day.

The snot, vomit and crying doesn't bother me. I love the kids... puke and all.

The parents who think their payment buys my soul....and that I don't deserve a thank you or an apology for a late pick-up.....not so much.

Random screaming (toddlers and older). I am not talking about the upset screaming either. I have had children who would just walk around and belt out screams whether they are happy or sad. It was just a phase for them, but my head had a hard time handling it! Also some parents!

Hahaha, feeding babies is one of my favorite things to do!

Spit up allllllll day looooooong, the poops that make you want to run for the hills and excessive crying... All part of the job!
Fortunately I have great parents right now.. happyface

Depending on what day you ask me, noise or parents. Today it's noise. I have two part time boys whose schedules don't match. When they speak, it's at the upper volume of their voice range. They also scream randomly, and voice every single thought that enters their minds. They are turned up to 11 ALL day! When they aren't here, there seems to be one or another parent going out of their way to be a tool.
Sometimes I have to wonder if I'm just looking for something to be aggravated about, but parents and noise are unavoidable.
