No, they don't. Not everyone is crude.

Ok, so they might just say "Susy is being a pain today..." You know what that stands for? Pain in the ass.

Funny how you make these assumptions about people you don't even know. My two nannies have both been gentle, religious women who love children. Maybe you need to hang around a different group of people.

I'm sure that my bosses would also describe me similarly. It doesn't mean that I'm above frustration. I would never say it within earshot, or even voice it out loud, but yes children have a special ability to work the nerves of the people who love and care for them. I dismiss most of it as part of being a kid, but there are days where they make me want to run away lol! Can you as a mom honestly say that you haven't had days where your child doesn't annoy the crap out of you? Nannies, even gentle religious ones are not immune to frustration either.

Frustration is a normal and healthy human emotion. The question is, how do you express it?

Ultimate professional: At home, in private.
Adequate professional: In private, outside of the earshot of the children/parents.
Unprofessional: To the parents and/or children.
