to think this is a fake Chester Zoo ticket? Seriously, is it fake!?

[user1469643462]

Yeah, I think we all know now, but is there like a 1% chance any form of ticket looks like this!?!?

This is basically a follow on too

Why should op be in haste to contact this ludicrous woman?? Her holidays have been messed up by this horrible woman - op you need to deal with this in your own time - do call ofsted and take their advice when you are able to - you need your friends/family around right now - I think this is an awful abuse of trust - no offence to any of the good cms here but it was for fear of something like this why I feared using a cm I did not know - and let me repeat I know there are good ones - I was fortunate enough to find a fabulous nanny who I loved and trusted. You leave your precious child with someone you expect truth and honesty from them - and as far trying to convince your son to go along with the lie and confuse the child he went to the zoo with "remember the coins" - and all for £21 - awful - our children our worth far more than this.

My brother was attacked with a claw hammer, had brain surgery and nearly died. Had to learn to walk again. My mother took the moral high ground and let the police deal with it.

My son was beaten up at school as a result of being bullied and threatened with a knife. It took all that I had not to find the kids and threaten them as they'd done to my son but I took the moral high ground and left it with the appropriate people to deal.

Sometimes you have to take the moral high ground.

I find this final chapter about how you're a) not going to confront her, b) not going to report and c) you've paid for the whole summer but there's this 'oh well, I've lost the money then, don't care' attitude.

You're just going to let someone steal your money (twice, as she's sitting there on your 'whole summer' paycheck too), steal other people's money and call your kid a liar and you're going to do nothing about it?

Mm hmm.

I can't believe some of you don't think the cm deserves everything she gets.

Ds is five. FIVE. Not two. If this had gone unnoticed op would have thought he was prone to telling fibs and making things up. That's a truly fucking horrible thing for an adult to do.

I was a nanny/maternity nurse for almost 20 years and lying to a parent about where their child has been never mind fleecing them at the same time is disgusting and she deserves to have her career in tatters. What else could she have lied about?

Oh yeah, because I'm finding it hilarious. At the time, I had no idea if my son was just confused, hence the post. I didn't put it on Facebook. I am not finding it funny at all, and struggling to see how people are, but if they're happy, great. However, you're not in this situation, so please don't tell me I'm wrong for not wanting to do exactly as someone who isn't in this situation says they would deal with it. You don't know her. You also don't seem to grasp that I don't need to phone her today. I can do it tomorrow, via an email. However, like a PP said, it gives her lots of time to sweet talk the other parents.

Thank you TheReal

Op have read the last thread and this one and obviously and quite rightly you are furious. However my advice would be to report her to Ofsted, is she's registered that is? And then pull the thread. It's clearly going to identify her if this is all over the net and Twitter and you might find yourself in trouble if you can't prove beyond dought that she's lied to you.

Don't defend yourself op. You don't need to.

kirinm, you're the one who said I should contact her!! I am the one saying I will deal with it via outside resources. Please make your mind up.

Fucking hell, people are seriously missing the point. No, I do not want to contact her today, I want to leave it so I can go through outside resources. Don't get pissy with me because you're not going to get your 'hilarious' update.

You should contact her! And then OFSTED.

Oh I can't be bothered.

I'm glad you've found alternative childcare and I hope your son is happy there. I hope whatever action you do take helps resolve this in whatever way you hope to.

I'll stay off this thread now.

People don't need to be in your particular unique situation to feel that "do something about it" is a viable plan of action.

Someone stole from you. So like... make the steps to get it back. Who just rolls over and says 'fuck it, who needs cash anyway?' especially after posting two threads called "I have been stolen from, what should I do?" when ultimately, what you're going to do is apparently nothing. So why ask? I can't imagine just shrugging this off and getting on with life, paying out another shedload of fees for more care and deciding you don't want to talk about it, confront the thief, try and get some money back or take the issues to the very authorities that exist to protect us from thieves and liars.

Are you going to report her?

If not, why not? She could have been doing this for years. She could still do it for years. She could actually damage a child's mental welfare by causing them to doubt themselves heavily
Why should she be allowed to get away with that?

Of course I'm going to report her, I'm just not phoning her today.

kirinm, please do and take Kenduskeag with you. As you can't seem to understand what I've written.

What a shitty shitty situation OP

Glad you managed to get DS into a holiday club. I really can't get over the gall of your ex-CM trying to confuse your poor DS like that, to cover up her lies. Makes me think she really shouldn't be working with children.

I suppose it's good that you found this out sooner rather than years later. Hope you enjoy the rest of the day with DS.

You do what you feel is right in your own time and way, it's no one else's business (unless you make it by posting here lol). Keep a wary eye on her though.

Good. I don't blame you for not contacting her today actually

I would be too furious to want to speak to her. An email is better. Gives you a chance to word it properly without her interrupting and butting in causing you to get confused or even apologetic

WHERE HAVE I SAID I AM NOT GOING TO REPORT HER? I HAVE SAID I AM NOT GOING TO BE GOING THROUGH HER. I really really don't see why people are assuming I'm not reporting.

Anyway, I'm going to spend the rest of my day with my son

Thank you all

Pretty sure OP didn't expect this thread to blow up as it did, and also think it is entirely up to her how she handles it.

Have a nice time with your son OP

Buy him an ice cream from me

User I would prob feel the same,

And I'd need a day away from it all.

Dd has done a sports scheme, she's loved it and far cheaper than Zoominder.

Hope DC enjoys it

Pretty sure OP didn't expect this thread to blow up as it did,

She started 2 threads in AIBU and supplied a picture of a supposedly fake ticket on the second, what did she expect?

OP I do hope you have a lovely day with DS. Ignore those on here who aren't listening to what you are saying. I agree, they just want the saga and drama to continue. nosey buggers

Today 13:00 NeedACleverNN

Good. I don't blame you for not contacting her today actually

^^ this!!!

If I'm honest I would end up thinking I was wrong face to face! you deffo are not though!

Good report her. As an ex cm myself this appears to be a major beach of trust,and if you can't trust your provider, it's over.

Not sure if Ofsted will be able to prove her a liar though.
