[quote=Anonymous]Gosh, I can't believe some of those MBs! As for the kids getting bumps and bruises, I do definitely try to be right there to catch them as much as possible, but I agree that even the most active and vigilant caregiver cannot prevent every single fall! Most parents I've worked with have been pretty understanding about such things (and I've never had anything more than minor scrapes and bruises happen on my watch, and even then I feel I keep those to a minimum).

However I'm always shocked at what happens when I'm not on duty: over the years, I have returned to work to find that six of my charges had suffered broken arms or legs while under the care of parents or grandparents! Every time I got a story like "it was just a freak thing, there was nothing we could've done." And yet I have to wonder-- what would've happened if this "freak accident" resulting in a broken bone had happened on my watch??

I guess when it comes to being scolded by MBs the thing that sticks out in my mind was when an overbearing young MB complained that I was "wasting too much water" when I washed the baby's bottles. (She insisted I should set out two bowls, one with soapy water, the other with plain water, at the beginning of each morning, and use only those bowls when washing baby's bottles, as they were finished, throughout the day.) I don't like to be wasteful, but I thought that was a bit ridiculous.

I have many horror stories about NFs I've worked with and crazy MBs but I guess (to their credit??) most of them haven't complained about silly things like that to me.[/quote]
