Lived in this house for a year and have a young couple living behind me (our gardens back on to each other) they have 3 young children (2,4/5) and in the whole time I have lived here I have never ever heard a nice word come out of her mouth! It's always FUCK SAKE don't do that, fuck sake you will go to bed in a minute, fuck sake don't jump on trampoline when dog is on there etc ect!

And her poor husband lets just call in pete* is currently upstairs cleaning windows while she is sat on her arse smoking and playing on phone, I'm guessing facebook as she is currently on her 8th status update in 2 hours claiming how busy she is spring cleaning and enjoying the sun in her garden!

Her child who is sat next to her has asked for a drink, so she is currently screaming Pete Pete child so and so wants a drink..... He has now downed his window cleaner and as just came and brought child a drink!!!!

And this women is currently in the process of becoming a childminder!!!!!!

She acts like the perfect mum on facebook always saying about her wonderful family and people are always commenting how much of a great mum she is, I wish they could hear her in RL and not just from her fb updates!!!

I won't but I really want to comment something along the lines of you fat lazy cow stop swearing at your young kids who are little more than babies, put down your fags and get your bloody 2 year old a drink and that Pete needs to bloody man up!!!!

Rang over will go put my next lot of washing out now

I would be very glad if someone told me a CM was swearing in front of my children. Just ignore OP - you could write the most innocuous post and you would still get people criticising you.

However she behaves in front of her own DCs, she may not be the same with other people's.

I'm a right lazy cah with my lot, if they want a drink I tell them to get their own, I lose my patience and shout at them to tidy up, I do the bare minimum of entertainment, expecting that they can find things to do themselves as I had to do when I was little never did me any harm.

However, when I'm being paid to look after other people's DCs I will make them a jug of squash and get cups out, sort out craft activities, do baking with them, suggest games and I'm generally sweetness and light!

I also get paid to clean my friend's house once a week, which I do really well. My own house however, is a different story!

My DP's job requires him to be super organised and methodical, but at home he lives in total chaos!

Work and family life are separate things and while I agree that swearing at/ in front of children is wrong, don't assume that she will carry this over to her work as a CM.

Everlong your right these people clearly speak to there children like that everyday which must be why they see no issues with it.

Because I think it's good for children to be independent, not constantly expecting other people to run round after them.

However, when I'm being paid to do it I feel obliged to be a bit mote accommodating and as it's only a couple of hours a day I can manage.

Nope no sarky or witty comment from me, can't imagine any other reason anyone would find it acceptable to call your own children little shits
