Dealing with wild children....

Tweet

So this tax season wasn't too bad. Usually we tax preparers play multiple roles one being babysitter/entertainer for our clients children. I only had one family that totally wore me out by the time I was done with thier taxes I needed a nap lol. They had three children. Two girls and a boy. The boy was 3 and literally climbing the walls. He was hanging off the divider, on top of the desk, under the desk all the while the poor mother was desperatly trying to get him to calm down while dad just stood there and watched not saying a word. Well the older child about 9 started talking to the baby in the stroller and had taken the baby's pacifier out of her mouth and dad went ballistic on the 9 year old while doing nothing about monkey boy climbing everywhere and touching everything!!! Well the last thing the boy did was manage to fall headfirst in the trash can. Like I said I was exhausted by the time they left and so was my coworkers who were watching the whole thing. Ever have to deal with wild children?
