Converse shoes on babies.... why
Parents that pic up late and want a 10 min chat... why!!
(P.s with gloves I make children spread their fingers wide.. works wonders for me lol!)
I had a 2 yr old arrive this week with gloves. I put a spare pair of mittens on her when we went out. I'm not spending 10 mins trying to get 10 fingers into gloves only for her to take them off 2 minutes later :panic:
xxxx
Parents that moan that there kids get dirty. All part of being a child/ of our jobs
Tried the whole spread the fingers thing but LO too easily distracted and it took us even longer lol.
Still, should be grateful LO had them, another LO turned up last week with no jacket, just a thin hoodie, it was 4 degrees!!
Sing the fingers song. Still takes ages but fun!
Babies with pull ups , tights and trousers all at once full strip to change them
Gloves are mine.....I now put the next size coat on my own lo and roll up the cuffs.....she can either have her hands out or in......rain covers on double pushchair. ....got to get a third one ss my last two have been ripped.....ir the babies decided no peak out the sides lol
Dungarees, parents who want to chat and children arriving with a soiled nappy
Snot, puke, dribble and poo. Not good for someone in the childminding business hay?
My children learnt to cover thier mouths when coughing and to blow thier nose not pick it.
But my dd pukes and gags if anyone put spit or dribble on her lol
Sick. Most things I take in my stride but sick ewe!
Boots that you can't get onto the child's ankles! I fear I may break their bones pulling and pushing!
Parents who tell you their children love their reins and are very capable walking in them, only to proceed to spend most of the school run dangling them like a puppet because they hate them and keep trying to get down on the floor, then picking them up and the little delights smearing my jeans and coat with wonderful mud and goodness knows what else from their shoes.......sigh
Older siblings of LO's who come at pick up time and think they can root around in my, nice and tidy, toys! Or touch everything in their sight!
Had one today who decided to bang their head against our framed world map repeatedly!!
Real nappies on babies who wriggle non stop. And it's not those easy nappies that are all in one. But have several layers that you have to make sure are all flat and in place with a special paper layer and then you have to try and do up the fiddly poppers whilst the baby is twisting all over the place. I keep some disposable nappies spare for when I can't fight anymore...:thumbsup:
I do 'star hands' to help with gloves :)
My pet hate is children wearing nappies and dungarees that don't have crotch poppers.
Also little girls wearing the most beautiful dresses but they get in the way of crawling and strapping them into a high chair is nigh impossible due to the voluminous skirts.
And whilst I'm at it, 'shoes' on babies too early.
AND sending girls wearing beautiful white tights. They always get filthy and I feel guilty for it.
yes, I've had a bad week!
For me its the child who arrives in a poppered vest when we are potty training.
