Just uttered the words I have tried not to say " cant wait for you to go back to school!"

dd1 (8) been winding 2 younger children up, she started by seeing mindee had a toy so she got it and took her to dd2 to get her interested then when mindee came to get it back dd2 kicked off and then mindee tried to hurt dd2 - just irritates me that for the past god knows how many weeks i have asked and aksed dd1 to let them get on with it and not interfer and tease, it falls on deaf ears........now i feel awful for saying that to her but fgs she is 8 she needs to learn not to wind them up then sit back and watch it kick off while i then try to deal with 2 2 yr olds who dont understand the word share at the best of times. 8..........9..........10 and breath

Anyway anyone else glad its nearly time for them to go back?

Think of the extra money from minding schoolies though!!!

I'm with you though, not today, but I have told dd the sooner she starts school the better!

Must be V hard work child minding when you have older kids. Sympathy.

My 2 older mindees are off this week and younger mindee was off last week, god knows what state i'd be in by now if that were not the case! and i had a week off myself the other week!
