    I've got: are your rates firm? we co-sleep, will that be a problem? My child cannot have...and they give me an endless list of foods, will you provide my child with white noise and rub his back throughout nap time? we don't use diapers so you will take our 12 month old to the toilet every 15 minutes~ Yep really had that one just last week lol We pick our child up every time he cries, will that be a problem for you? We don't believe in using the word no, it hurts her self esteem! Those are just a few off the top of my head lol

    Yeah I love the "didn't bring ABC as they are a bit sensitive to new things" - don't come back!

    The BEST one I've had that I just stared in shock was "I'm still Exclusively Breast Feeding" I made a face then said "how am I supposed to help with that? (pointing to my "girls")" She wanted to start in a weeks time!!! Ahhhh NO!!!!! Bye-Bye

    This didn't happen to me, but to a close friend.

    What kind of lightbulbs, laundry detergent, personal bath soap, wipes do you use and will the coffee be on when I drop off my child because coffee gives me a headache!

    the husband asked during the interview, "do you have a cat?" to which I replied "yes, I do" suddenly he drops my policy book and as he rushs up my stairs gives a yelp and runs out my front door like I had yelled "bomb!" his wife turns to me, rolls her eyes and says"he's allergic" She apologized and left. NEXT!

    AWSOME! lol It amazes me how bold people are and how incapable hey are to consider someone else point of view or reality. As if, 5 families will change their entire universe for them or their child.

    It did not happen during an interview but I was talking by e-mail with this parent it was brought up that her 2 year old, who was still bottle and hand fed, not talking, was not sleeping on his own and not immunized as she believed it was some government conspiracy, and was in legal battles with Ex's and Ex employers about discrimination ... I always want to give people the benefit of a doubt but it really sounded like someone who just loves to be in drama and controversy ... I could not believe the things she would say and ask ... A little like momof4, she was kind of allergic to everything on top of that and smells and cleaning products ...just too much for me to handle.
