To think the parents of children who are in childcare would like to see them more often?

[tori32]

I CM and have several sets of parents who finish work early on many occasions who never collect their child early. I know I am paid and it does not bother me in the slightest to look after them for their agreed hours, I just feel sorry for the child because they are missing out on this extra time with parents who work full time.

I was a working mum for 3 months (as in not CM) but always collected dd early when I finished early because I wanted to spend time with her. AIBU?

lets not deviate let's address your two faced sycophantic smiles to parents and then judgmental behind their back attitudes.explain that tori

Sycamore tree- I said especially. Many couples can work it out if one wants to stay at home as you have...so you can go to your bloody glamorous job [ you're a cleaner in Tesco's aren't you?]

Yes, what Scottishmummy said - you make your living out of us, you cheeky mare! How would you feed your own LO's if you didn't have our hard earned cash to buy your pork and pastry based tea time treats with?

And back to your corners ladies!
Have a brew or summat...

Yes - in their FINEST aisle.....

But seriously, my point was that for 2.5 years, both DH and I have worked full time whilst DD was looked after by a nanny. It's only cos DH got made redundant during my current maternity leave (sob!) that we decided it made best financial and emotional sense for him to try being a SAHD....we'll see how long he lasts!

Oh, come on. You don't think all your nursery nurses/ childminders like you do you?
That's very naive- have you seen that teaching website?

Yes, I will Dingdong -back in a tick. But I like Mrs Ruff - I don't completely agree, but she's got a bit of class the way she puts her point across - UNLIKE SOME!

Now why didn't that * * thing give me bold...

i have only got started, tori is duplicitous and peddling a weak inadeaquate arguement.

Good luck with it, sycamore tree. When are you due? And can I say I find the sahd's so refreshing and usually quite attractive

nicetry ive probably missed something, are you judging yourself because you work or are you lucky enough to work when other half isnt working. me and other half are teachers so we cant split working hours. Most techers i know are working mothers, your child probably wouldnt get educated if it wasnt for us working mothers SELFISHLY going back to work.

No, I don't Mrs R - I have spent time on this mat leave with my old nanny, who sits about all day slagging off her employers who are actually my mates cos it used to be a nanny share, and she seems oblivious to the fact that I'd be assuming this is what she used to say about me all day. But then, I bitch and moan about my boss ALL THE TIME.

Maybe tori is your old nanny

lol mrsruffallo, q all those comedy sketches with dads in toddler groups being hit upon by yummy mummies lol

Kerry - I am disappointed - what an unedifying post from you

Mrs R- already have DC2 - he's now 6months. I go back to work in 1 week. DH has been at home with us since November and will carry on with both DC's once I go back . Yes - he's a bit of a fox - hands off Laydeez - they're gonna be like flies around the proverbial at monkey music....

I don't dislike my parents, I just don't understand why they want to leave them with me while they are at home. As I said before its no skin off my nose to have them however many hours but they spend 40hrs a week with me awake and only a handful of waking hours with parents. I don't get why they don't want to spend as much time with them as is possible.
I understand some people need a break but why not have that when they go to bed?

put * around* all the words not just a complete sentenceTori thing is us working parents could easily do your job(if that's what you want to call it) and not judge but no way you could do ours. so remember working parents pay your rent, fill your fridge, allow you to have internet and shot off your inane tosh so get over it

Oh some of them get so silly when there's an attractive sahd around, ding dong

Kerrymum - you should read entire post if you haven't already. That's the kind of thing a SAHM would sling out because in reality, they just feel envious and resentful of the working mum. I have seen you post elsewhere and thought you were a bit more sensible than this. We are talking about the occasional grabbed moment of sanity, to do, of all things, some shopping or to collect your bloody drycleaning, or actually get your haircut so you can remain remotely attractive to your DH. When you are a working mum, you run from pillar to post trying to fulfill all your ridiculous obligations. Don't judge what you don't know.

kerrymum - if one wants to be judgemental, then it is only fair to point out that some of us work so that you have the option to stay at home on benefits and give your children (who are at school) the life you believe you should give them!

Tori - when my child is in bed I am the only adult in the house mon - fri - do you want me to leave her alone with only her 8 yr old brother if I need to get shopping done?
