Had 16week apt with midwife today at childcare centre, is a new system so haven't been before.
I got there and some general assistant came through, not a hcp bwt.
She took me through to a seated area and told me to fill out a form, on it she said i had to put all my info on it, my dh and my ds's info aswell, i asked her do i need to and she told me yes you have to.
I then looked through the form and decided i didn't want to give all my info to them, whomever they are, she came back through 5 mins later and asked me why i hadn't filled it out?
I just told her i didn't see the point and just wanted to have my midwife apt and leave.
She then got shirty and said, so you are refusing to fill this out, why?
Does your son go to nursery? is he socialised! wtf!
AIBU to think it's my own business why i don't want to share my family information, and that i shouldn't be told i have to when actually when i asked to midwife later she said no it is just a form to keep you updated with group sessions, but they are drop ins anyway, you don't need to register with the centre to attend.
I just found this woman to be out of order, i am perfectly capable of deciding wether i want to fill out a form or not, and it isn't her business anyway!

A lot of it is for marketing purposes which is why I don't like filling them in.

If they need to prove bums on seats to get funding fine, just say !

They're always banging on about transparency and patient communication.Grin

YANBU. When I wanted to open a bank account recently and also made some enquiries about a mortgage application, both times I had a sit-down appointment, and as part of the preliminary fact-finding chat I had to answer a zillion questions (who currently does your home insurance? etc etc) that were of no relevance to the service I was enquiring about. I am sick of people endlessly gathering data on me that is none of their damned business.

OP, I would complain. It is not on for someone to hassle you because you don't want to give information which is not their business and lie to you.

I hate this kind of thing! I think people who are given forms and fill them in without questioning it are quite silly.
At my midwife appt. I was given a form asking lots of questions unrelated to my medical care - like did I rent my house or own it. I only filled in my name and the date and gave it back, the receptionist looked like this Confused
