she doesn't half seem to be good at getting jobs
unless the buttons and mark warner jobs were 2 out of many she applied for

The nursery nurse who used to work at my childrens nursery did love them rather than have at most fondness. How can you make these judgements about other people and other peoples motives??

Scottish mummy, bet the 4 with BA(Hons) won't stick around long on the minimum wage . But seriously, I don't equate lack of qualifications with lack of intelligence (and many highly intelligent people can be inexperienced - not a problem if you are enthusiastic, and unenthusiastic - always a problem). I still feel a mother is the most experienced and enthusiastic carer for her own child. Why is that so controversial? I thought it was fact!

BoysAreLikeDogs · 05/03/2008 23:19

Nicetry, that is your opinion,not actually a fact my dear

scottishmummy · 05/03/2008 23:20

NiceTry · 05/03/2008 23:20

madamez - my husband looks after the kids when I am at work, he works 2 days a week.

scottishmummy · 05/03/2008 23:21

are you guilty as an absent wage chasing mother?

scottishmummy · 05/03/2008 23:24

NiceTry you dish all da diss working mums and you work..hmmm kettle pot Black. you are the same as most of us - juggling work/life balance

NiceTry · 05/03/2008 23:24

Boysarelikedogs

NiceTry · 05/03/2008 23:26

Scottishmum
Difference is in the childcare - mine are cared for my their parents fulltime.

scottishmummy · 05/03/2008 23:27

NiceTry · 05/03/2008 23:27

'by' not 'my'

scottishmummy · 05/03/2008 23:28

NT cut the shite you are a working mum, no big deal- same as me

BoysAreLikeDogs · 05/03/2008 23:29

I didn't say that about my children ,silly.

You said 'I still feel a mother is the most experienced and enthusiastic carer for her own child. Why is that so controversial? I thought it was fact!'

How can it be a fact if you 'feel' it ??

Evidence, please

NiceTry · 05/03/2008 23:29

Lol, what do they mean 'no kids after 3pm?' What happens then?

scottishmummy · 05/03/2008 23:30

you, me and all the working mums (cos u are one) go get the sheep and pentangle

MsHighwater · 05/03/2008 23:32

NiceTry, you did pick up, didn't you, that I was unconvinced that your experience of 12 nurseries is hardly a scientific study with conclusions that can be relied on as representative of the general picture. Would you care to acknowledge that your experience is limited and your opinion is just your opinion?

NiceTry · 05/03/2008 23:32

BALD(are you bald btw?)
OK you win - I should have said 'A mother is...etc. etc.'

scottishmummy · 05/03/2008 23:33

NT You have selective MN attention/responses.so this 12 nursery business

any discussion of childcare all gets the precious-moments mamas in a froth.like pavlovs dog they just gotta bark at the stimuli

mrsruffallo · 05/03/2008 23:35

I don't think denying that these problems exist is helpful at all.
Parents should be demanding higher standards/inspection procedures/ staff professionalism instead of question any bad reports

BoysAreLikeDogs · 05/03/2008 23:36

I most certainly did

NiceTry · 05/03/2008 23:39

MsHighwater - of course it's unscientific and just my opinion. Can't be doing with all this PC justification of all comments so as not to offend. All my comments are only my opinion FFS, makes me laugh when I get accused of judging lol, everyone does this, some admit it - some don't, but it would be really boring posting on AIBU and not receiving 'judgemental comments'.

FWIW, of course there are good nurseries and bad, like good schools and bad so who cares. I could argue against myself and say, so just because some schools are bad I won't send my kids to school, but what would be the point of that. Some of you are too sensitive and can't accept a viewpoint different to your own without getting all defensive about it.
