Someone asked me once if I knew what shaken baby syndrome was, and what my plan was should I get angry with a child.
You know, I have three children of my own, all of whom are older than her child. They all made it to school age without my hurting them in a fit of rage. I felt the question was very insulting, and to be honest, as a seasoned caregiver, it really hurt my feelings.
Of course I get frustrated when babies cry all day long. We all do. But you know what? I have NEVER come close to shaking one. I did not accept her into care, even though I would have loved to fill my spot. I couldn't.
