Childcare Workers Confess The Weirdest Requests They’ve Ever Gotten From Parents

Bloody_Elle:

A parent told me I needed to hold their six year old’s hand when we were outside because he believed he would blow away if it was windy. I did not hold his hand. He did not blow away.

One girl was being toilet trained. Camp policy was that children being toilet trained were given chocolate chips. This girl’s mother didn’t want her daughter eating so much sugar so instead she gave us a snack box of tiny hard raisins. We were supposed to give her ONE RAISIN every time she successfully went to potty. This was of course enormously successful.

“If he misbehaves, don’t hit him. Hit the kid next to him; that’ll scare him into behaving.”

They wanted the entire camp to go vegan.

Worked at a gymnastics day camp this past summer, had a parent come in and request that the tots director (in charge of the 5-7 year olds) have her child poop in a bag and look through it and try to find the coin that the kid had swallowed the day before. We sent the kid home for the day.
