Strangely one of my new mums asked rather incredibly is this all you do look after children.
She must have seen my face as she went on to say she couldn't do it.
Another mum at football tells people I'm a saint for running a nursery at home. Then when she picked dd up she was very surprised at I had a normal house.
When someone tells you nothing is impossible, tell them to go slam a revolving door

Oh yes I suppose I've had comments like that but I think they usually mean a work place away from your home rather than presuming I don't actually work. Some people are just thoughtless, whereas it sounds like others have actually thought about it and questioned with that in mind.

Had a child poo herself and poo fell out the side of leg of her pants once during an parent interview, luckily the parent visiting said she had an older daughter and the same thing had happened to them once at a garden centre, she said she just picked it up in a tissue, shoved it in her pocket and hope no one had noticed.
Once when showing the house to potential buyers my daughter came upstairs and whispered in my ear that our elderly dog had done a wee on lounge carpet, I asked them to excuse me and I went downstairs and quickly jumped up and down on a mountain of kitchen roll for a couple of minutes until they arrived back downstairs - luckily the wet patch didn't show and they put in offer for full asking price, there and then.
