So many people have suggested I go into teaching.
What you have described is exactly the kind of thought that has always prevented me.

I'd love to teach the baby ones
Adults are fine too, cos they actually want to learn, but a lot of language work is role-play, and not many adults are willing to act like tits in a class full of other adults.

I would like to teach baby ones
but then there's snot and stuff.

Apparently the little ones are horrible too
Because they haven't learnt how to be proper people yet, they can be pretty harsh.

I've always babysat, so harshness of little'uns doesn't get to me
but the snot of a complete stranger? Hmmm...

And they wee themselves
Kids are rubbish. I want nothing to do with them until they become of an age where they're not just essentially animals.

The idea of being a nanny appeals
But then I remember that most people are cocks who have neither the ability nor the inclination to discipline their babbies and therefore I would be harassed all day by arrogant brats that I'm not allowed to correct.

Psychological torture is your only option then.
I'd make them watch Watership Down, then buy them rabbits.
