Speaker 1 (00:00):
Somebody asked childcare workers on TikTok to share the most
cringe worthy things that parents have asked for.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Here are some of the best responses.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Also, if you're a childcare worker, text us four one
oh six one, call us eight A eight three four
to three one o six one. Well, one person said,
I had a parent asked me to count how many
string beans her child ate at lunch.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Oh, I believe sring beans.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
There's nothing else going on.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
Well, I never worked in childcare, but I was a
babysitter and I used to babysit these twins. And then
parents were very very strict, but they were never really home.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
It was either me or nanny that was taking care
of their children.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
And she wanted me to measure out the peanut butter
and the jelly and cut off the crust to make
sure that there was the appropriate amount of peanut butter
and jelly was like half of a tea spoon.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Or something like that. Oh whoa.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
And then I had to count out anything that they ate.
You can never give them a handful. It had to
be six, or it had to be three, and then
they'd only get twenty three minutes of TV time, like
how do you come up with this time my twenty
three I don't know.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
She has commercials Trent TV after and the commercials that
turn it back on. I don't.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
I mean, this was it's really insane. They watched They
were also very rich. They had an elevator in their house.
Lot so wild experience. So I can only imagine what
parents are regularly asking for in their schools.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
You know how you get rich. Twenty three minutes screen.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Time and six peanuts. That's fair.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Somebody asks people on TikTok to share stories from childcare
workers about ridiculous, unhinged things that parents have asked for.
This one's ridiculous. It said, I had a child with
digestion issues and the mom asked me to chew his
food for him and then feed it to him.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
No, no way, that's no, no no, like a baby bird.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
That is too much.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
I know that parents might do that, but to ask
somebody that is not, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I don't feel like I do that. It's like different DNA.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
As a parent, I have never chewed my daughter's food
for her and then put it in her mouth.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
That's the only if I were a parent, that's the
only way I would do it forever.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
They're like a little baby bird. Yeah, forever, seventeen years old.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
I can.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
You can go over for Thanksgiving. They got a whole
family and everything else. You know, their adult grown, still
my kid, and I'm gonna baby bird them.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I'm taking mother hend to a new level. You don't
need to chop up my stake. Just go ahead and spa.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Could you imagine being a childcare worker and someone asks
you to chew up the kid's food and feed it
to them.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
I mean, I hope I said no, that's all you
can say. That's not sanitary.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Your child's clearly not ready for solid foods. Let's stop
pushing the milestones.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Okay, he's a blender, Just blend it.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
A genius idea.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
One parent called a childcare worker and asked if they
could call her halfway through the day and tell her
that her child was.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Sick so she could leave work.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
I don't think that that's that big of a deal.
Every once in a while, you call in favors, you
make friends with the.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Little be like, I will pay extra.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Yeah, yeah, you have to pay extra for that.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Lady's gonna be I'm watching your kid at that time.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
I'll still play it for a full day, but I
need to get out of here.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
I want to go half.
Speaker 6 (03:00):
Turns out I might be in Vegas by new We're
going over some of the most unhinged things that parents
have asked childcare workers.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
One person responded and said a dad stood on top
of the cubbies and did a backflip oh dope off
of them. In response to me saying that this is
a children's class, he said, he pays enough intuition that
he can do whatever he wants. So he's a kid basically,
so he wanted to attend the class or something.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
I don't know the context of it, but that's still weird.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
I didn't know Benson Boone had his kids, and I
love it.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
That's what you think.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
I like. And people wonder why dating is so hard
no matter how old you are, grow up.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Another childcare worker said that once a mom masked if
I could serve divorce paper to her husband.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Hey, that's convenience.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
That is you get tipped man.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
Yeah, because you can't do it yourself legally, so you
gotta have somebody else.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Why not have the middleman do it?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
The person said, they said, no, I would absolutely Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Five bucks. Yeah, potster, your career is a process server.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Another person said that they had a parent give them
a chucky doll. Oh, it was the first day of
school and a mom said if her child acted up,
to just show the kid the chucky doll and it
would stop.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Wow, that's a level. You quit that job. You don't
know what has happened up to this point, do you?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Or do you say thank you?
Speaker 5 (04:30):
What? No?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
You tossed the chucky doll out?
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Well? I mean if their kids acting up and the
chucky doll works and nothing else did, I mean, you.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Might as well keep it as a last resort. Is
that really that bad?
Speaker 5 (04:39):
You could teach your kid how not to act up.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
There's a trend going viral of childcare workers sharing the
most unhinged things that parents have asked them for. Somebody
texted in right now at four one o six one
and said, I was asked to test the temperature of
reheated breast milk by drinking it.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
Yeah? Are you the mom that asked that. I just
I'm really curious, that's what was going through your mind.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
How else do you test it?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
You don't test it, you just don't or use it thermometer,
trip it on your arm, you put it on the back.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Heah, that is how you actually test it.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
But also it's delicious. I've never had it.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
