What are the strangest questions you've been asked during an interview?

I almost choked when I saw the wheelchair decease... Oh dear! That's awefull!!

I don't think I had any ''strange'' question asked to me.... But I had wierd answers!

I Asked a mom what her expectation were when it came to child care and she just said: I really don't have any... after 4 kids you stop caring... as long as she eats I'm okay. Really lady?

I heard someone say once that when you have your first child and they get the sniffles you rush them to the emergency room and after your fourth child and they swallow a dime you tell them it's coming out of their allowance ......
I have five kids and i have to say I'm pretty relaxed .... I'd probably have the same answer " keep em' alive and we're all good

That's funny Crayola and so true. My youngest daughter who is the youngest of 4 children asked me if I loved her one time when she was about 10. I was flabbergasted. But she noticed that there were lots of pictures of her oldest sister when she was a baby and not as many of her in the photo albums. But my oldest child had the strictest restrictions and rules and they were a whole lot more relaxed by the time the 4th child got to them, so it all worked out evenly as far as I'm concerned.

I think it's funny when a new baby gets a sniffle and a new Mom wants to rush them off to the doctor. I just had that conversation with a dcMom this morning saying, oh he's fine, don't worry because she is trying to get her baby with the tiniest cough ever a dr.'s appointment. She's a wee bit overprotective to say the least.

should have mentioned that the general feel of the interview was just odd. she walked into the door and said ok so she will start on monday ( that was the friday night)... You know even before calling my references, or finding out if I was a freak or not!

Maybe its because I only have one child..... but I was SO suprised! most parents I interviewed before had 3 pages of question... she only had one : how much d you charge?

I get the relaxed attitude with multiple children. You learn with each child. This Mom is taking risks and that is dangerous and sad.
