Suffer (with) the little children
I am quitting the daycare in about 4 or 5 days and I am sooo excited. (To make a long story short)In case I haven't talked to some of you in a while, I reluctantly got a job at a nursery school, the nice word for day care.
It's pretty much the worst job that I've ever ever worked. I've also realized that it's not the kids that I don't like, it's the other people who like kids.
I work with the rudest women that I have ever met. They are completely unprofessional, bossy and catty. I have never been more insulted at a job in my life. Today I got told off twice by the same woman who is as old as my mom. Here's how this goes...
Today this "bigshot" 18 year old that I work with, whom everyone trusts for some reason, decided that it was a good idea to take 15 2-year olds outside to go run through a sprinkler in their diapers. Now, in order to take children this small outside you are required to put sunscreen on them head to toe before they even set foot out the door. Oh, and another thing - this chick decides to do all of this a half hour before we serve lunch. One of the little 2-year olds didn't have any sunscreen with her name on it. By law, we are not able to use any sunscreen, lotion, diaper cream, unless it was given by a parent. I can understand this seeing how many allergic reactions people have too.
So anyway, this little girl had just intergrated into the toddler classroom last week, she was in the infants before. I went to go ask the woman who runs the infant room if she had any. Instead of politely saying "no". She lectured me for 5 minutes about how I "wouldn't dare" put anyone elses sunscreen on that child. I didn't even consider this an option, but instead of hearing my question she just told me off. I again repeated to her, my initial question of " If a child is fair skinned and she's going to get sunburned, what should we do?" She then scolded me and told me to get out of her room because I was going to wake up her babies.
I went back and told the 18 year old boss that she didn't have any, she then went over my head and the other woman in infant's head and asked the Director if we could use someone elses' sunscreen, in which she gave into making me look like a complete idiot.
And this is my day, everyday. I only do what I'm told but then I'm talked down to and ovverrode with someone elses' bullshit.
