[quote=Anonymous]I have nannied goodness knows how many children (at least 30), and I have to say for the first time that I really and truly believe these parents I currently work for have no idea "what-so-ever" how to parent their children.

The difficult part is that I know that because they're my employers, that I have to respect their "parenting skills" and "rules" for their kids.

It truly is "shocking" to me that anyone could have such little knowledge and common sense on caring for their own children.

I have "always" strongly believed that with patience, positivity, and care that "all" children (even the most unruly ones) will behave better in time. This has "always" worked for me. Except with these current kids... They are litterally every nannies nightmare!

I have had what many people would consider "problem" children before, however I have always learned how to help and handle these types of children (case by case) to where they behave appropriately in short amounts of time. However, these kids are seemingly hopeless, and I absolutely HATE to say (let alone think) that!

Their current ages are 5 months and 2 years old. I swear, I was on the phone with a friend (while I was off duty) who has had multiple children, and while we were on the phone the baby was crying in the background. 
She was just like, what the HECK is that terrible noise in the background? 
I was like what, you mean the baby crying? 
She was like, there's absolutely no way that horrible sound is a baby! Seriously, what is that?
Um, I told you already that's the baby crying.
She goes on to say, NEVER in all my years have I EVER heard ANY baby cry like that!
I'm like yeah, and that's not even the worst of it. That's "mild" crying for her! Not to mention she is ALWAYS crying. 
She's like, Oh my god I'm so sorry for you!
Yeah, seriuosly the baby sounds like she's being mauled by a bear every time she crys!

Not to mention the 2 year old must be the most unruly, selfish, spoiled, and annoying child on the face of the earth who complains about EVERYTHING.

This experience has been so horrible that in complete fear that any baby and 2 year old will ever be like this again, I have pretty much promised myself that I will never nanny another child 2 and under again...

Gosh, if only these children were like the 2 next door (who are the exact same age as the ones I watch). I commonly refer to them as "the angels" (although they're pretty much just your regular behaved children) because there is NO comparison to them with these ones...[/quote]
