My brother-in-law's daughter is 8 years old and is a sweet girl. She loves to help me cook and is actually helpful rather than a burden. We hadn't had them down for a 1 1/2 years until this October. The last time they were down, early in 2009, she wet the bed. Fortunately, she had been sleeping on the blowup mattress. So when they came down this October, I thought she had grown up and let her sleep on the futon. Bad idea. Last night they were here, she peed the bed. They came down again for Thanksgiving. This time I told her it was her brother's turn to sleep on the futon so she had to sleep on the blowup mattress. The second night here, her dad let her sleep on the guest bed because he and her brother were watching a movie in the room set up for the kids. Bad idea. She wet the bed. I spent the whole day washing everything from the quilt to the mattress pad. They came again about two weeks ago to pick up a car. She said it was her turn to sleep on the futon. I said she couldn't because she wet the bed and she needed to sleep on the blowup. She was really sad and embarassed and wouldn't look at me for a long time. Sure enough, on the last night here, she wet the bed. In fact, she was so embarassed she wouldn't get out of bed to say goodbye to me. She quitely cleaned herself up without telling anyone and we had to clean up the mess when we got home from work that day. Yuck! Now why the hell is an 8 year old wetting the bed? Does she wet the bed at home or is this a travel related thing? If she wets the bed at home, why the hell aren't the parents packing along some Overnights? If I wanted to clean up after someone else's pee, I would have had my own kids. Yuck.

One time my man and I babysat for some friends who were celebrating their anniversary. After the kids left, I went into the bathroom and saw buggers on my wall. Yes, some kid had picked their nose and wiped a few buggers on my wall. And there was a perfectly good box of tissue on the back of the toilet or a roll of toilet paper next to the toilet! Kids. Gross.

I change a lot of diapers since I'm my cousin's babysitter(she's got 6, all boys) My cousin and I joke that her kids are my birthcontrol. This is one of the reasons why.

Every once in awhile though the baby really makes a mess. Down both legs, all over the butt and partially up the back. And it's usually green and semi -solid. I have no idea how that happens or how such a small body can hold so much poop

When my nephew was a new born, my 15 year old niece was holding him. She was ready to go on a date and was wearing a new jacket and shirt she had just bought that day. He pooped all down her new clothes. Yuck. Poor girl. She was tough and didn't cry but was on the edge. I bet she's not wanting kids any time soon.

...*shudders*...back when my little brother was still a baby.... I was changing him; I had just gotten the fresh diaper under his bum when...Surprise! He pisses all over my front. Even got some in my hair....
I think that was the exact moment I decided I didn't want any children of my own....

Another gross moment was when my little sister Emma got sick on a camping trip. She puked in the tent. Needless to say we had to cut the trip short...

Damn kids! This weekend I had my brother's family and his neighbor's family over for dinner. At least two of the kids were coughing...all over the food! Damn kids don't know how to cover their mouths. Now I woke up sick this morning with an awful sore throat. grrr!

Last weekend I went to use the bathroom at my brother's house. One of the kids (I know which one it was) had smeared poop down the front of the toilet. Gross! It stunk and it made me wonder how much poop she still had smeared on her behind.

My friend posted this on Facebook yesterday:  "I know this is going to sound disgusting, but Kerry, the 5kids, Natalie and myself were just swimming in the river... Four other kids came down to where we were swimming and the eldest literally pulled down her pants and shit in the water where we were swimming... This is the biggest WTF?! moment of my life..."

Don't have a story to tell off the top of my head...unless the story of a couple of uninvited children at a wedding reception knocking the cake over counts? Much more to that story, but won't go into it now...just wanted to say thank you!!! I thought I was the only person in the world who's stomach turns at the sight of a kid with food all over his/her face, even when it's an ad on tv!!!

Last weekend my man and I had a two-for-one coupon for a breakfast buffet.  I had a great view of the dessert bar so I knew exactly which desserts to avoid when I saw a boy sneeze toward the buffet without covering his mouth.  Right before that happened, I saw a little girl go up to the hot caramel, pump some in the palm of her hand, lick it off, and run away.  Someone needs to turn up the heat on the caramel to punish kids with ill manners.

I ate at a buffet a few days ago and had a good view of the salad bar.  A young girl goes up to the salad bowl, grabs a huge tong load of salad with her right hand, spreads the salad out with her left hand, uses the tongs to put some salad back, agains spreads the salad out with her left hand, and again puts some salad back before moving on.  Yuck.
