I have a 5 year old and a 2 year old. My 2 year old is potty trained. He even just switched to wearing underwear at night. So, I haven't had to change a diaper for my own children in a long time. I am done!!!
But, the last couple of weeks, I have been substitute teaching at my son's preschool, and the teacher in the baby class has been out sit for a while and I've been in that class 3 days now. The first time I subbed in there, I changed 16 diapers in 3 hours (6 of which were stinky). The second day I subbed wasn't as bad, only 1 stinky diaper, but still, a lot of wet diaper changes. The third day, also, not as bad.
The teacher that is out sick is not sure what is wrong yet, but should find out soon. My big decision comes in if the teacher needs to be out long term, do I want to be a stable teacher in that class and take over for her? Do I want to change diapers every day for a long time?
If I did take over for her on a long-term basis, things would have to change from the current situation. I would need to be the lead teacher in the room and run the class, not the current assistant who has been running, since I'm just a temporary substitute. But, if I do that, will I be happy. I have been exhausted from just 3 days of substituting.
Well, I don't currently have a decision to make, but if they do need me, can I (or should I) do it?
