Im a childminder, i go to all sorts of groups and know a lot of other childminders.
One of my mindee's went to one of these groups(just on a diff day) with their mum last week.
one particular cm recognised the mindee and mum said yes my cm brings her here on another day.
Childminder then starts asking "is her house clean?", "Whats it like?", "is it messy or tidy?", "another cm used to live there so she didnt have to do ANYTHING as it was already OFSTED'D ?????
Now this particular cm..er how can i put it nicely??...i wouldnt chose to leave any child i know with her..she's ALWAYS moaning about the children, telling them off for just being children and as soon as her husband walks in (they work as team) they children flock to him which IMO speaks volumes about her!
She runs a group to which she wants you to pay, but it is of no benefit too me in anyway, so i didnt join..im guessing im not in her clique , but couldnt really care less, im self employed, dont need her/her advice/her help in ANY way.
Ive 'known' her for 2 years, yet today is the FIRST time she has rememberd my name and i was waiting for her to mention seeing mindee and mum and i was going to say "yes, she told me you thought i had a dirty house and that OFSTED didnt need to see me or my policies etc in order to pass me, as the hosue was ofsted'd"!
So whats her farking problem?..even my friend who isnt a childminder said today and has said several times before she wouldnt let her look after an animal never mind a child as she moans and sits on her backside dishing out orders or giggling behind her hand with one or two of her 'clique'..friend asked why 'I' didnt pull her up today and i said that if she is so botherd about me (someone she deoesnt know) and my life, then im already a better person than her, why would i want/need to justify my home/business/self to some pathetic woman who makes her own pathetic self feel better by making crap up about cm's who actually do work hard, do play with/look after/ care for the children..whats her farking problem???
