it chaps my hide, too.

tell me this: why do 22 month olds need chapstick?

according to their mother it's because they like their 4 year old sister's so much that they should just have their own. without lids. because that would be dangerous.

yet no one thinks about what damage 2 small girls can create while carrying 3 sticks of chap a piece. no one thinks about how they scrape out the sticky, greasy goo from the tube and smear it on their faces and on the floor and the walls and the couch and the nanny......

what happened to telling the girls that they couldn't have chapstick until they were 4. what happened to just telling them no? where is the freaking common sense in giving 2 little girls who can't even use markers correctly 3, count them 3 chaptsticks all with the lids off at once and setting them free.

i'm thinking i'm going to let them draw on the walls with them tomorrow. or maybe ruin something that belongs to the parents. then we'll see what they think.

Ok...just found you....LMAO! I can completely picture the chapstick situation! I am a former long term nanny, now a home childcare provider for the last 12 years, looking to go back to a nanny situation (one family is sure to be less drama than 4-6, right?)....and stumbled across your blogspot here....

Think I will pop in here from time to time and read....your attitude seems a bit in tune with my general one....UGH!
