Ever have a customer that doesn't control their kids......I just got back from ones house..... As soon as the kid sees me it starts following me back and forth to the truck...
Just getting in the way....and all I can do is SMILE!
His mother calls but he doesn't listen....I'm tripping over him....He's pulling my solution house up stairs before I get a chance to pre-spray...
He's getting in the way while I pre-spray...
This is what really gets my goat..he makes sure to walk on every area I clean...
all I can do is smile...
1 bedroom/flt/a family room/living and around a mat in the dining takes me all of 15 minutes...why because I rush to get out......lol ------------- www.mr-steamer.com |

I can almost guarantee that she was a single parent, without a man in the house.................Steamer just became a daddy to a son for an hour and he's complaining........... ........Poor Kid ( Steamer is just a meany )

My personal favorite was "spray the kid in the face with your HF." I picture that and cant stop laughing

Shut down equipment, explain to mother that you are working with products and very hot water that could cause injury to the child and you would prefer not to be put in a situation that could cause any form of a injury/liability claim. ------------- DON ELDRED YOU CAN "STAND" ON OUR REPUTATION |

I had a problem like that way back in the 80,s, the kid was a little hyper-monster..........I used to bring a piece of old carpeting 4x4, dump a bottle of dishsoap on it, and his job was to stay in the driveway until he gets all the suds out using the hign stream of the garden hose........kept him busy while I worked and he never got all the suds out...........................TODAY HE WORKS FOR MOLSON AS AN ADVERTISING CONSULTANT, AND HAS 2 MONSTERS OF HIS OWN

| Now THAT is a good idea. I might have to try it if I get into a situation like that. |

I ALWAYS USED TO KEEP A PLASTIC BAG FILLED WITH NEW CRAYONS, COLOURING BOOKS, AND A TOY OF SOME SORT FOR THE KIDS. I PURCHASED THESE THINGS FROM THE DOLLAR STORE, AT THE WORST OF TIMES I MIGHT HAVE GIVEN AWAY 5 DOLLARS PER WEEK OF GOODIES. SMALL PRICE FOR SOME PIECE OF MIND.
