I have had my 1st CM for about 3 months now. She colelcts my son (6) after school 3 days a week and has him there til 6pm.

I have a question... Son told me he's been to the hospital and waited a while and then CM saw the doctor there. Then he went back to hers for late tea and I collected him. I chatted with her at collection time and she didn't mention this.

Now, I realsie if ds were young or if he were there all day then she'd have to dop normal everyday things with him, but I'm a little annoyed she seems t just take him along as she would if he weren't there. I'm paying her to have him and she took him to sit in the waiting room rather than hium havinga nice play and a relaxing evening at her house - and then didn't even tell me?

Ds is very tired after school and what if she makes a habit of dragging him into town, to the shops etc for her own personal errands.

If this a normal thing for CM's to do?

i usually tend to take the children to appointments with me to save having to tell them parents i cant take them that day. however i do usually do it during school hours so that its only the little ones i am taking as i wouldnt like the idea of lots of little 1s and after school children coming with me. occasionally though when my daughter has maybe not been herself that day and i just phone and get a last minute appointment for docs and if they happen to give me a time when i have the school kids then so be it they need to come with me.
