Does anyone else find this...(if you do just how annoying do you think it is?)

[lemonice]

Dgs naps when i look after him at my house but refuses to nap at home....

[SoupDragon]

As long as he naps for you, that's the important thing surely

[bigdonna]

sorry im a bit dim what are dgs?

[starlover]

dear/darling grandson!

[Twiglett]

darling grandson

think it should annoy his mother more than you tbf

[swivellyscooter]

Dear Grandson.....er....I think!

[lemonice]

dgs is grandson

dgd is granddaughter

hth

[lemonice]

his mother is whom I'm i think it may annoy, just testing to see if i should not mention it when she asks whether he has been good!

[hewlettsdaughter]

tell her he sleeps when he's with you because he doesn't want to miss a minute of being with his mum

[lemonice]

Hewlettsdaughter - I did actually think that might be why it happens..

[hewlettsdaughter]

Oh, I meant it would just be a nice way of explaining things to your dd!

Think my dd naps better with her childminder, not sure why.

[hewlettsdaughter]

Maybe you (and my childminder) are just better at getting them to sleep! Just don't tell us that!

[lemonice]

I knew what you meant but I also thought perhaps it could be why..he's afraid she might not be there when he wakes up but he isn't that bothered about my being there! I think as well it's much easier when it isn't your child, i just put him down as though he is going to go off and not as though he isn't. She would love a break during the day but very rarely gets one.

He is about the same age as your dd IIRC 19 April 2004?

[hewlettsdaughter]

Yes, thought it was you! My dd was born 18 April last year.

[hewlettsdaughter]

Have to go now, have been on mumsnet far too long this evening! Nice to hear from you.

[bigdonna]

im a cm and the little girl i look after will not sleep weekends but mon-fri she has to have a sleep she asks to go to bed.i think it is probably because she is with me 50 hrs a week so she does not want to miss out on anything at home.

[chipmonkey]

My ds was the opposite, he slept at home but not at his creche and as a result was a miserable grump when he got home. Is is room dark enough and quiet enough? Also, I think that if he has an idea that his mum will come and get him if he makes enough noise then he will simply make enough noise!
