I. Hate. Small. Children! >:(

Today was rotten. Woke up early this morning with a migraine, so I dosed myself with Excedrin and went back to sleep. When I woke back up, my headache was gone but the nausea accompanying it remained. I went to work anyways.

First thing when I got to work, I went to put away a mosaic tile mold, only to find that some %&*(%^)(%^*(&% little kid had PEED IN IT! I STUCK MY HAND IN IT! I almost threw up on the spot. I put it in the dumpster, washed my hands, and told my boss...who told me to take it out of the dumpster so she could wash it off. *Snarl*

A few hours later, I'm kneeling down to show someone something and their little kid leans over and SCREAMS something right in my face. He sprayed spit all over me, and actually made me dizzy from the noise. Nobody in the family with him was the least little bit apologetic either, they thought it was funny!!!

I closed the case full of stuff I was helping them with, announced to the general vicinity that I was going home, and did just that.

I've washed my hands countless times since this morning and I still feel disgusting, and I'm still nauseated, and I want it to go away so I can enjoy my half day off... *grumpy*

Not ALL kids are like that.

Sorry you had such a bad day.

Cathy,

Don't hate the small children, hate the parents that seem to be letting them do whatever the hell they want.

I can understand working in a terriost I mean tourist gift shop. Parents think a vacation means also from parenting (thats what clerks in stores are for). I had a 3 year old trying climb the glass shelving on the peg board walls. Parents got pissy when I pulled him down and he started screaming. I gave the parents a few words about glass and cuts. They stromed out , the rest of the store and customers clapping.

I also get so angry with parents sometimes. Like when their children run behind the bar, and we let the parents know that no one is allowed back there plus it is very unsafe. However 10 minutes later we turn around and the kid is in the back area again.

I can say I'm thankful for my hysterectomy for more than one reason. Unruly kids are horrible! And if I'd wanted be a babysitter, I'd have had my own. I can't stand the fact that the "parents" expect everyone else to watch their kid for them. However, when I do come across the rare incident where there is a well behaved kid, I be sure to thank the parents.
