To refuse to supply more nappies for DS until the nursery supply me with a breakdown of how the last lot were used?

[listsandbudgets]

DS goes to nursery 3 days a week. (Tuesday, Thursday, Friday). Last Tuesday I took in two packets of 35 nappies so 70 in total. I assumed these would last at least a few weeks.

This evening they asked me for more nappies. I queried it and they insisted DS had used the lot. This means that in 4 days at nursery he'd used an average of 17.5 nappies a day. They tell me they keep a written record of all changes including the time and whether they were wet or soiled. AIBU to insist they provide it to me and to refuse to bring any nappies or pay their charge for 50p a nappy for each one they provide until they have shown me the original written evidence of all 70 nappies being used on DS?

I've suspected before that they may be using DS's nappies on other children but this is ridiculous surely!!

Wow, according to Oscar you deserve to be swindled OP for having the NERVE to go out to work. I mean, fancy paying other people too look after your child! I mean do you really expect them to do a good job?! Now go finish your 90 lashes for being such a terrible mother

Oscar ODFOD. OP needs support in managing her nursery, not condemnation for needing to work. If you have nothing constructive to say, say nothing.

Oscar you're way out of line! Sorry we can't all be the perfect doting mother like you! It's ok though, we don't live in 1800 and know it's ok to work and have kids.

Welcome to the 21st century, kid! Get over yourself!

Is it usual for toddlers to be totally fine at home get to nursery have raging diarrhoea be totally fine at pick up and do this every time they go to nursery and nowhere else?

perhaps Oscar thinks it is.

c) Stay at home and look after your babies YOURSELF.

Yep, thats helpful. You're obviously one of those smug judgey people who are in a fortunate enough position to afford to stay at home.

Ah fuck it, that's all childcare issues sorted then.

Exactly fandango. Who needs a roof and food!

Oscar not everybody has the option to be a SAHP. Not everybody wants to be a SAHP. And who said anything about sending their child to nursery with diarrhoea...?

What not wait.

Hello Katy Hopkins...

No cunny, that was clearly any of us working parents.

Obviously 'palming a kid off on daycare staff' is equal to 'unnecessarily infecting innocent kids with serious illnesses'

And we're the type of SICK people who'd do both!

Not everybody wants to be a SAHP.

No. I don't. I like doing something different and earning money.

Damnit, I'm up at 5 for work. I can't wait any longer for oscars reply.

Might not even take her to the CM. Might just leave her to play near the train station or dual carriageway. They're about the same as leaving her with a carefully picked and highly qualified professional stranger aren't they oscar?

Off to bed! Happy arguing guys

I like paying the mortgage and eating food.

I thought I'd hate going back; when I did I loved it.

I though DS would hate nursery; he basically leaps out of my arms every week and into the mud tray.

I don't enjoy paying the mortgage...

Yes I was exactly the same. I'd love to only work 4 days but love the independence and DD loves her fun packed days with friends.

I'm finding it hard to tear myself away from this thread.

Ahh I see. I thought Oscar meant someone had actually posted about sending their child in with diarrhoea. Wondered why I couldn't find that post!

Yy Brian, I know someone who was dying to get back to work very soon after having her 3rd DC. To her being a SAHM would be the worst thing imaginable! Mind you, she doesn't have a maternal bone in her body so that may explain her eagerness to get back to work so soon after the birth...

On a serious note cunny, I think she thinks someone posted that. I missed it too.

I'm lucky enough that DP earns just enough for me to be a SAHM, I do love spending lots of time with DD but I sure do enjoy my time away from her. She's 2.9yo and recently I've been contemplating looking for a PT job just to get some adult interaction.

Yes ask to see their records. They have to write down nappy changes but there is no way on earth this is right!

Evees :o

I do work 4 days EveesM it makes me both appreciate my day off and thank goodness for the days I work . Looking after toddlers is hard!

I think part time is the best of both worlds. DD is 2.5 and is basically amazing because she's looked after by people who prepare fun activities and surrounded by other kids. Whereas at home she just gets molested for cuddles by me

Jealous fandango! I'd be in heaven with that extra day off!

Looks like oscars not going to reply tonight.

Seriously, I have to sleep now. Alarm has been postponed to 5.30 and I've resigned myself to being late.
