When parents give their kids my check to hand to me.
Especially if the said child is in the mouthing/crinkling stage.
Because everyone wants a wet, wrinkly check.Comment

-Asking the same question multiple times
-Kids dressed in drab, ugly clothing (come on, this is the time to wear neon and glitter and huge cartoon animals!)
-Parents that act clueless
-Meals that don't cover all the food groups
-Parents: Tell Ms. -- what you ate/saw/said/watched this weekend and 99% of the time the kid does not remember and I have to smile awkwardly while the kid mumbles
-Papers/drawings tossed in the large part of the cubby (and not in the paper compartment)
-The fact my boss talks to all the black employees in this annoying "hey girlfriend!" vernacular
-When people steal my pensComment

My kids are all obsessed with shoes. I have a cabinet right by my stairs where my family keeps our most used shoes, and then we put the kids' shoes in it or on top of it during daycare. Every day, we're searching for shoes. They use them like toys! At naptime, I collect everyone's shoes and socks, put the socks inside the shoes and put them where they go. 2 minutes after nap is over, shoes are scattered again. The 2's love to just empty the cabinet over and over. I am trying to think of a way to lock the cabinet that isn't too inconvenient for us to get our own shoes out, but am blocked. I told a parent that I am thinking of buying a combination safe to put the kids' shoes in (and this is the truth-I am considering it) to keep them from losing them over and over and over. If they can reach them, they get them. If I make a meal or use the toilet, they run for the shoes. Maybe they do it to make me crazy? It's working.Comment

Amen! I HATE improper carseat use! I have a facebook/Snapchat friend who used her infant bucket seat as a forward facing seat, with the straps ha going off the kids shoulders, buckle resting on the belly.
My DH met someone at the 1 stop light our county has right in front of the county courthouse and sheriffs department with an infant in the carseat bungee strapped to the back.
Do people really not value their children's life enough to be diligent about car seat safety?Comment

Always asking me why. I have a 3yo boy who is always asking me why when I ask him to do something or even when I state a simple fact!
“Come brush your teeth.” WHY
“Micheal doesn’t come on Thursday.” WHY
“We’re having pizza for lunch today.” WHY
He’s such a sweet kid but this drives me crazy sometimes.
This one has to deal with adults but I hate it when people talk loud on their cell phones in public places. No, I do not want to hear about your hot date last night nor about the fact that your job stinks.
And I hate it when parents cuss in front of their children. I had a 4yo boy last year who thought it was ok to say s**t and a** because “ daddy does.” :confused:Comment

"Miss ___ will give you a treat if you stop crying."
"Miss ___ doesn't HAVE treats and I certainly don't reward kids for throwing a tantrum. She'll get over it without a treat."
WTH!?
Mom and Dad, I only take payments from ONE parent. Dad has asked me EVERY SINGLE PAYDAY if mom paid me yet "Did she pay you?" every Friday morning gets OLD. She pays at pick up on Friday, after she gets paid. I feel like saying "Why are you asking me when you know the answer?" like I do the kids.

I loathe hearing parents using the words "Sorry...but he/she INSISTED".
This can be over a toy, food, their clothing for the day etc etc.....
Even though they KNOW the rules, they seem completely incapable of telling their child no. I say no and the child accepts it and then the parents look at me as if I'm a magician or something and say silly things like "Oh! how do you DO that?!!"
I just smile at them, but feel like saying "It's called being the adult"Comment

A huge one for me right now and it makes me crazy is parents let dcb 3 1/2 years old to ride in the front seat on the way home, unbuckled. We live in a subdivision and they live 5 houses away and 1 house around the corner. All it's gonna take is for 1 person to pull out of their driveway and hit them and the airbag is going off. I was hit one time years ago by someone pulling out of their drivewayComment

Yes, the parents that let their kids do whatever. 2 year old lately has been coming in pajamas and the parents are like he didn't want to get dresses and threw a fit. Why is this my problem. I am thinking I am not gonna dress him today and he can stay in those pajamas.

The kids that ask for their cup as I'm serving them their plates.
I give them a cup of milk with breakfast and lunch EVERY time....I've never not given them one. Yet the DEMAND one before I've had a chance to give it. EVERY time. It feels so disrespectful to me. I just want to tell them NO once,
. I know it's petty but it irks me.

When someone stops in to the day care, and either the kids act up or the baby starts to cry and they say "wow you have your hands full!" and it's NOT a compliment.
Actually, I think that phrase is rude. The implication being that you aren't handling your kids. No one says it when everyone is smiling and quiet.Comment

I recommend a car blanket and keeping a winter coat here for playground use. If they send a white one or one without some water resistance for snow play, I send it back. Relentlessly.
