Does anyone else find kids annoying?

vdm • HIE & NICU mama. Nail technician. Interracial family.

I’m 16 w 3 days pregnant. I was a nanny for a while before becoming pregnant, anyways the kids would occasionally get on my nerves but now I literally can’t STAND kids!!!

I swear just them crawling all over my lap (I watch kids ages (3-7) makes my skin crawl. I feel bad because I’m tired and don’t try to interact with them like I used to before I was pregnant.

Damn I used to love babysitting but now I want to scream anytime someone wants to leave me with their kids 😭

Maybe it’s just burnout? For example I still babysit for the family I used to work for. But the mom has me come over 3-4 hours before she leaves, won’t text me the entire time she’s gone and then call me to tell me I need to do house work before she gets back. Last Saturday I was supposed to work from 4-8, ended up calling me asking me to come over at 3 and she didn’t come home until 2 am. Her husband came home at 12:30 and asked me to stay with the girls until their mom came back (I have no idea where he went. He’s a doctor but was not on call).

Should I just tell her I can’t babysit anymore? She asks me every single weekend and they also have a weekday nanny as well...
