History is friend of mine has looked after my dc once a week. Our dds were in same class and it seemed a good idea. She was also looking after some other dc. I paid her obviously. This went on for a while. Girls had a minor disagreement and dd was uninvited to her dd's birthday party (by text, day before). I tried to find out if dd had done anything but no, they'd just had an average minor falling out. I asked if she wished to continue with the dc, I was changing days and my main, official childminder would become full the day I gave up. She said yes, she wanted to, and confirmed when position explained. All seemed well and good. However she started to make excuses always by text and at short notice. Then she said she'd continue til I could find something else. After the lastest text I managed to get them back into childcare and texted her to confirm she did not need to have them any more. She replied with a ? and so I explained, she then replied to say the ? was because she did not know who I was and I obv had the wrong number! am totally confused. Seems she has the arse. Why?

She sounds madder than a box of frogs.

She is an arse.
Let go of her! Nor worth your time.

How old are your dc's?

yy box of frogs I think. Have decided to just leave it now, having slept on it. Thanks all
trois they are with prof childminders most of the time she was thinking about setting up and I thought it would be nice for dd to vary with couple of hours with a friend, for which I was happy to pay as it also coincided with a regular late meeting at work. I thought it would be a positive thing! actually I was paying her more than the regular carers, and I don't think dc were as happy as I'd hoped, so it has worked out for the best in the end. Don't suppose I will ever understand ...but glad no one thinks iabu, you begin to doubt yourself!
will update if i find horse's head anything occurs

I may be well off here, but how about going around with a plant or chocolates or something just to show that you have appreciated her having your children to date. Would not be nice to have any bad feelings hanging around and hopefully you can all move forward in your own ways.
