I'm allergic to kids.
I would be absolutely terrible at any type of daycare, babysitting, camp counselor -- you get the drift - - anything to do with kids.
I've had a LOT of jobs in my time, but working with kids is not one that I would ever consider for any amount of money. Nope, can't do it.

On the good side, though, a guy who got sassy with you would look great with a head full of spaghetti.

I wanted to be a teacher when I was a kid, but I quickly realized I would have no patience for that. I’m glad that dream didn’t work out.

@MarieCoyle — like Klaatu said in The Day the Earth Stood Still, “I’m impatient with stupidity.” I wouldn’t have lasted a week.

I know that teachers that teach with some fun thrown in are the best, and they reach more kids and help more of them than the ones that don't. But hey...you followed a good path and that's all that matters.

That is so funny, I absolutely LOVE children and working in Daycare's! Lol. I would be terrible doing anything with numbers, I hate math and I am awful at it.

@looeyville I took an aptitude test when I was about 19. It concluded that I would be good at filing.

I would never be good working as a housekeeper at any hotel, motel or resort.

@LovingMyBabies Thanks for the kind words but I'm afraid that's not the case. I feel sorry for Vince as he loves kids and is really good with them. Unfortunately we don't have (and won't have) any grandchildren of our own.

I would not be a book keeper or accountant. Boring in my opinion, plus I would not want to be responsible for someone else's money.

Cooking? I hope not, I want to inherit my mother's skills in cooking.

Same here. I'm also allergic to the little ones. I also could not be a janitor. I could NOT clean a public restroom....ever. When my husband was laid off, he worked as a temporary janitor in a school. He said it was disgusting.

I could not ever euthanize animals or people. I just couldn’t.
Two other jobs I couldn’t do—being a plumber or an exterminator. Nope,nope!!
I love kids. If I could go back in time I would love to adopt again.
