The Incapable Parents

Sometimes I wonder if the Parents that I work for are as incapable in their jobs as they are as Parents.  Like for instance, they ask the dumbest questions in the world.  "Do we have to bathe him every night?"  And this isn't their first kid.  "Do we need to brush his teeth at night?"  Umm, do you brush your teeth at night?  Did you brush your teeth at night as a kid?  Then, yes.  "What kind of food does he need to eat?"  Umm, he should be getting exposed to everything possible.  And the best is when the older one tells me that his Parents give him soda with dinner!!!!!!!  (By the way, no child should ever be drinking soda.)

I mean, seriously, Parents.  I know that we live in Hoboken and you probably work late, but are you that dumb that you don't know these basic facts of raising a child?  ESPECIALLY when you have multiple?!  You decided to have these kids.  I raise your kids.  It's not that hard.  I tell you what to do.  You do it.  It's that simple.  Follow my directions and your kid will turn out nicely.  Continue down your path and your kids will turn out to be the smelly cavity filled teeth kid.  Not kidding.

I go thru this same thing every day. the parents ask questions as if they dont even realize how dumb the question is. the other day they asked me if their kid was drinking too much water. so i said "when i leave do you let her only drink water and not make her eat?" they said "no she eats a little and drinks more water." so i said "there's your problem. make her eat instead of drink." what dummies

I guess it is true that the parents you work for are dumb, especially since they hired you to watch their kids.

This is pretty jerky. I'm going to guess that you don't have any kids. Parents, especially the good kind, worry about every little detail about their kids, even if this kid is number 3 or 4. Every kid is different, even if their basic needs (food, clothing, shelter) remain constant.

maybe these parents arent "the good kind" if they were then they wouldnt be asking these questions
