What could possibly trigger their panic reflex and send them on a hell-bent trip of making my life absolutely miserable. Does it have something to do with the water of the lighting, or is it more of trust issue. I really don't get it, before the bath they are fine and dandy. After the bath, they are happy as can be.

Maybe I'm over reacting about this cause the darn kids I babysit yelled and screamed at me for ten minuets straight to the point of the deafening of my left ear, but somewhere is the answer to this mystery. I'm sure one day I will find it, but in the mean time, I'm leaving the baths to the parents, but I can't be completely mad at these children. They have helped me in very important one way. Birth control.
