Teacher/Childminder disagreement

[AllyJU]

Need a bit of advice as last night my DD's (teacher called me to say that my childminder had been rude to her (over an ongoing issue with my child) when she collected my child. The childminder claims that it was the other way round. Not sure how to resolve the situation. I've known both for several years and both are/have been very supportive. I don't know how to move this forward.

I wouldn't get involved to be honest as long as it's not affecting your child which it shouldn't do. You can't be responsible for the attitude of either of them. As long as you're happy with the CM generally.

I think you should say to the teacher you're sorry if she feels the childminder has been rude. And then try to sort out the issue concerning your child yourself. I can see why you don't want to get involved I probably wouldn't either but it is your child so you are involved. But don't take sides. They probably are just two people who don't really see eye to eye. Personality clash type of thing.

Obviously if you need to talk to either of them about the ongoing situation then do that. But focus on that and not who said what to who.

Thanks - I just couldn't see the woods for the trees this morning. We all have her best interest at heart - just different opinions on how best to deal with it. Its brought out my working Mummy guilt - thinking that it wouldn't be happening if I was a SAHM.

Hello Ally

If it is any consolation if you were a sahm, the odds of you encountering a teacher where you didn't see eye to eye are are pretty high.

I would try and find out what this disagree on, one of them may be completely out of order in which case soon resolved as you are mum and have the final say.
If it is just a small difference of opinion and insignificant just carry on regardless and let them sort it out as 2 responsible adults.

Good luck.
