People see you with 5 children out and about and all they do is stare and mutter to one an other. I just want to shout and say 'yes I'm looking after 5 children so what' if I had a pound for every funny look i've had, I would be rich by now.

It just makes me so angry that people think that it's ok.

Sorry for the rant.

Try buying a pregnancy test when you are out with 5 children, and see they looks you get.

LOL. I know one childminder friend who got on a bus with six children and the driver told her she must enjoy spending time on her back!

They think they are all your children. I find that when out with childminders, we get some strange looks but then nice comments about how well behaved the children are.
