The videos quickly attracted thousands of likes and comments, with other childcare workers chiming in with support and agreeing with Erin.
“100 per cent accurate,” said one. “I couldn’t agree more with all of them! Another I hate are socks.”
“I wish parents would just put names on clothes it drives me mad,” declared another. “Sand!! I hate the goddamn sand!”
“What gets me is when we close at 5:45 pm and you can see the parent sat in the car, on their phone scrolling but don’t come to the door until 5:50/6 pm,” said another annoyed educator.
Parents also flooded the video with their comments, thanking Erin for the insight.
“Okay but these videos are helpful my boy just started daycare,” said one.
“I literally have anxiety about being late for pickup. I don’t know how some parents act like it’s no big deal,” said another mum.
