I had one dad who made us force his kid to do any activity that wasn’t arts & crafts (which was the kid’s favorite, and he was talented in it too!). The reason? The dad is homophobic and was afraid that knitting was making his son gay.

They called it Smooth Time.Every evening, I would give their 6 year old a bath, and afterwards I would have to rub petroleum jelly over his. Entire. Body.

Had a woman call me last minute and then “forget” to pay me. She had the nerve to try it more than once??? And was SHOCKED AND APPALLED when I told her I would never babysit for her again.

Not exactly an unreasonable thing I was asked to do, but when I was a camp counselor at an arts camp in high school, I got in trouble for tapping a child on the shoulder who had fallen asleep during a performance. His mother was FURIOUS and demanded I be fired (I wasn’t).

At summer camp, a mum wanted me to braid her kids hair every morning. She saw in the photos over the summer that this didn’t happen – hell there were 6/7 of us looking after 30+ 5-9yr olds, that wasn’t gonna happen.
