To be shocked at the poor service given by my local tooth fairy?

[MrsBuntysStrangeCuldeSac]

She or he forgot to turn up last night. DS1 is going to give her/ him another chance tonight. I've suggested the messy bedroom may have been off putting. What is the world coming to? Anyone else have lousy tooth fairies in their area? Can I employ one from John Lewis?

Our tooth fairy was two days late once - day one she was too drunk to remember, day two she was too hung over to remember. On day three she wrote a grovelly letter of apology.

It can be an IT problem

You see, when I know a tooth has fallen out, I fill in a form on a website, wich goes to a central tooth fairy base, and then the jobs are allocated out by tooth fairy control to individual local tooth fairies....

So you can imagine in that complex IT structure that there are so many factors which can go wrong...blame networking problems...

We are yet to have the tooth fairy visit but I hope she is better than the tooth fairies you lot have.

It seems a common trait that all tooth fairies start with very good intentions and excellent service, but gradually slide into inefficient ways. Maybe we arent appreciating the complexities of the job and the levels of stress they must suffer what with having to fly huge distances on such little wings.

Could she not negotiate a one-off payment up-front (with a discount for accelerated receipt) for all DS's milk-teeth?

We've found lost teeth too. I think the cuts have been so bad that the poor toothfairy has been using an old, moth eaten purse to carry the teeth back to fairy land.

am so glad its not just our tooth fairy who is s**t

Our tooth fairy is very careless; she hardly ever bothers to take the teeth away and quite frequently drops the coin down the side of dd's bed so that she can't find them. Luckily, mummy has a good search while dd is getting dressed and usually finds it

I'm still waiting for the tooth fairy
Its over a year since I had that troublesome wisdom tooth removed

The tooth fairy missed one of the DCs a few years ago
Luckily the next night DH dressed up in a pink sheet, fairy wings and wandered into the room saying "tinkle tinkle and fairylike noises"
The DC were surprised to find the tooth fairy had a beard

maybe you need a temp

I had to ring ours once as she forgot to come. I gave her a right ticking off in front of dds. She promised faithfully to come that night and then the dozy thing forgot again.

DDs really made her pay when she finally deigned to turn up.

Lmfao

Of course unless it is the SIL which makes her a terrible parent
If it's me it's OK ofc

(I kid) but man I hate her :p

Our tooth fairy doesn't work weekends-lazy so & so. Apparently she refused to sign the opt out agreement so it's illegal for her to work over a set amount of hours.......... She leaves double money on Monday though.

Ours gives piss-poor service too. She has been known to forget on numerous occasions, has also taken to dropping the coin down the side of the bed where only Mum's arm can reach, and even leaving the tooth behind. .

TBH, The tooth fairy has to have a day off just like Mummy or Daddy, she can't work 7 days a week, when would she see her tooth-fairy babies?

See,messy bedrooms,bunk beds-these are all health & saftey issues. Can't do anything without a method statement and risk assessments these days. And btw-the spelling mistake is deliberate...

Our 'tooth fairy' is so bad that when I returned from a night shift and inquired as to whether she had visited, he jumped up, did it then and woke up DD.
When she asked him what he was doing, rather than making something up ('I'm just checking if the tooth fairy's been'), he just admitted there was no such thing, its us, straight away. She was 6. :(
Tosser.

this thread is hillarious!

I'm so glad it's not just our tooth fairy... mind, he (oh yes, move with the time ladies, we've got a male fairy) did leave a nice little note, in painstaikingly tiny writting. But this was on the 5th night when he finally managed to remember. It outlined exactly how well a 6 year old should be brushing his teeth, and promising more ££ for whiter teeth, because the fairy king likes to build his castles out of perfect white tooth-bricks.

I think she might have also borrowed from a money box and never paid it back

...err, I mean he
;) hah

The tooth fairy in this household is often too knackered to exchange quid for tiny tooth at 1AM, hence we now have a letter on DD's wall which explains she has two days to rectify the matter or she owes 2 quid .
I blame Nanny for that that letter .

If you do happen to get in touch with the tooth fairy, could you get her to remind the cleaning fairy to get a move on and come to my house!
