[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I call the children I nanny for monsters all the time. [b]What I want to say is little shit head [/b]but monster comes out. I've never had a parent care some even start to use the term along with me. It's all in good fun and it's used to describe a toddler not like a 4 or 5 year old.[/quote]

Then you have no business being a nanny for toddlers. [/quote]

NP but I also refer to my charges as little monsters or stinkers. Kids can be frustrating. People who are good at dealing with it don't pretend they are perfect, but they find a way to curb their frustration. I love my charges dearly and have cared for them since they were newborns. They are now in the thick of frustrating preschooler behavior and frequently behave like little stinkers. Doesn't mean I don't love them, and it doesn't mean I shouldn't be a nanny. [/quote]

I'm the PP you quoted.  What you are saying is not what I was referring to.  I jokingly call my own kids little monsters sometimes as well but I have never wanted to say "little shit head."  That's what I was referring to.  If you feel like a toddler is being a "shit head" then you don't know anything about toddlers and shouldn't be a nanny. "Little monsters" or "stinkers" could be lovingly said, "little shit head" cannot.[/quote]
