The health visitor called at our door today for a visit (which I rang up and cancelled with the receptionist) - apparently a standard one following my son's visit to A&E due to falling and cutting his head on his brother's bookcase. Anyway, I told her that I'd cancelled the appointment and that I had no need for a visit. (He came out of the room and stood beside me.) Now I am panicking - should I have let her in? Will they think that because I also HE that I have something to hide?
For the record, we do structured work every day and have loads of evidence. We also have a yearly visit from the LEA lady who is happy with what we do (mainly as I am an ex-teacher and she thinks that we home ed 'properly')
I just hate being micro-managed and don't see why the hell I should let a stranger that I have never met before into my home just because my child has had a one-off normal childhood accident. Now I think I've made a mistake and they'll put 2+2 together and get 10. To make it worse, we were both still in our onesies at lunchtime...
