Have you ever cared for a child you just plain out don't like?

Not necessarily that I didn't like a particular child but there was a child who seemed to frustrate/annoy me to an extent with how noisy, over active, clumbsy and drooly they were. There were also a ton of nap issues. Every day where this child was in my care - I would feel that heavy, sinking feeling about the day ahead and prayed for patience.

I do believe I have to love all the dck in order to do what I do and take good care of the kids so I did still give lots of hugs and kindness and patience even when I was cringing on the inside at times

The parents were really nice so I didn't want to terminate and the child did not mean to be as they were. The child was actually very cute and happy-spirited for the most part. But I was hoping the mom would find some reason she didn't need me anymore...even a pregnancy and telling me she was going on maternity leave was like a beacon from above.

Never underestimate how cringeworthy someone who is drooling all over your tablecloth and plate, toys, floors, carpet and themselves can be all day long. I mean...how do you stop drooling? I know it sounds bad...but it was not a pretty situation
