Morning all, just de-ice the car ready for the school run because mindee always arrives when i really need to have left! Get back indoors and the phone goes to say she is taken him to the dr's first and then will let me know if he will come later (they live 40mins drive away).

Morning excuse me while i just AHRHGHHHHHHHHHHHAAAARGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGG OMG OMG IM SO SICK OF THIS BATTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously don't know how much longer I can cope with these parents (child is doing well lately) There is something to moan about everyday and i'm sick of it.

One day it's over potty training the next over lack of hygiene the next they send mindee with a thin shirt and no jumper or anything on his arms and its bloody freezing out there. Theres not enough nappies and wipes in the bag or i moan cus they don't pay me on time or I moan because they don't send spare clothes! IM fed up of hearing me moan, Im sick of having to bloody moan why can't they just send him with the right stuff

Morning! I've got a good one today for a change. School mindee is going to dads after school, so just need to do drop off. All day mindee has a rotten cold and wants to lay on the sofa all day and watch Joseph! Who am I to argue with her! Mum did say last night that she wouldn't bring her, but since I have no others, I didn't see the point of her having to juggle her shift at work. Mindee said she was happy to veg with me all day, so thats just what we're gonna do!

Got my own child from hell this morning. I didn't start a row, I just simply said, I would appreciate it if you could wear a different pair of shoes today, because its really icy and frosty out there and those have got holes in them. She immediately huffed and muttered! Was I being unreasonable?

I felt like saying 'f*ck you then, get cold, wet feet and a cold and several coldsores and see how the boys like you then!' I didn't.
