You Know You’re A Daycare Provider When....

[Kimskiddos]

While having lunch at a local burger and custard restaurant with a 2.5 & nearly 4yo dck and not 1 or 2 but 3 different people stop by to say it is so nice to see how well behaved your kids are.

You take your clothes off at night to get showered and discover 2 pacifiers and a used tissue in your pockets.

[Naptime yet?]

You ask your significant other if they need to potty.

...you're out on a walk with a group that includes four 4-year-olds of varying races and someone asks if they are all yours ::

I get this ALL the time!
Or I get 'wow you must love kids!'

[NoMoreJuice!]

I just laughed so hard. Have totally done this! ::

...you cut your husband's meat into little pieces and don't give it a second thought until you notice he's looking at you funny.

I was asked the other day if two of MINE were twins by an older lady. One is a dark mexican child and the other is a blond hair, fair skined, blue eyed child. I wanted to reply-yes identical-

The reason I capitilized MINE was because they were childcare children and I had four of them with me and she thought they were mine.

I used to have this happen all the time with my youngest dd and dh's niece when we had custody. His niece is Hawaiian and pretty dark (dark hair, skin, eyes) and our dh was really fair with snow white hair, fair skin, and light green eyes. Polar opposites. They're about 10 weeks apart in age.

I'm in the process of training my puppy, so I've noticed my using the same terms and noises I do with the puppy as I do with the dck's. They do respond well to my clicking noise, though... ::

Well truthfully they all could be-our kids are 3 different races with two of them 6 months apart::

You know you're a daycare provider when your fridge/freezer may be filled with the latest science experiment rather than food!
Or when by the end of the day your shirt is full of food, paint, who knows what?!

I'm told I look young for my age, but I doubt I look like the parent of four four-year-olds :: Maybe grandmother

I'm pretty sure if you had 4 four year olds of your own...you'd look like a grandmother no matter how old or young you were!
