Parents who dress their children in clothes and shoes that are waaaay too small. Makes it difficult to change diapers and dress them. Especially when a 2 yr old is wearing jeans with a snap and zipper.....

Being forced to do Adult Care during Child Care hours.....
Ok
, doing Adult Care in general....:
: Read your handbook. Browse the FAQ's. Scroll through the online versions if you lost your copies. It is all in there. Yes, "Client" or "Parent" means YOU, too, not just the other clients or parents. 
I refuse to go to a picture menu....
Adding: Having to play a game of "Chocolate or Poop?" before sunrise. C'mon, I serve a huge hot breakfast every day... keep the chocolate cookie bribes for on the way home. Please.

When the dcparents don't shut the door - I am either trying to heat this place up or cool it down so SHUT. THE. DOOR.
Also dcparents who step off of the entry rug with their wet feet and get the floor wet/dirty/muddy. I have babies (their babies sometimes) crawling through that.Comment

I have a dcg (age 7) who is one of the rudest kids I have ever met. Dcm is literally picking at the manners of an almost 2 yr old. It's growing increasingly difficult to bite my tongue when she should practice what she preaches!Comment

ANY conversation that begins with
"I know it's against policy but...."
or
"It'll just be this one time...."
or
"Could you do me a favor...."
or
"I didn't think you'd mind but..."
or
"Can I pay you (any other date other than payday)"Comment

Parents who can't/don't discipline their children, especially when it gets to the point that it endangers other children.

Depends on the day.
Today? It's parents keeping their baby home for an extra day over the weekend, and bringing them back broken.
High need baby, 7 months, was doing AWESOME the last 2 weeks. Sleeping, eating, playing...happy happy happy.
Today is another story
Oh...and questions about what his patterns were this weekend are met with vague answers like "he took short naps". Wow, that's helpful.

Parents who dont discipline thier children.
Parents who do everything for their child... I finally got a 4 year old to put on his own shoes and socks and jacket and pull up his own pants. Just to have at pick up him sit down for mom to put on his shoes and socks and jacket after i told him he needed to do it.
I know this comes with the job but mouth noises same 4 year old is making sounds constantly and it kills me.Comment

I must have a lot of pet peeves... with every response I read I was nodding my head in agreement!
and changing diapers when a child is wearing bib overalls (without the leg snaps) and then a snapped onsie underneath. Or better yet potty training a child in the same attire.
shoes with shoe laces that can't just be slipped on and off a childComment
