fantastic
giver her a medal

SorenLorensen · 03/04/2008 20:10

Did they like it?

soapbox · 03/04/2008 20:10

It depends on whether you shared your anti-D sentiments before the event!

I suspect it's not a mistake she will make twice

choosyfloosy · 03/04/2008 20:10

what, to stand outside with placards?
Great day out

WideWebWitch · 03/04/2008 20:11

ha ha ha ha ha
definitely fire her

pooka · 03/04/2008 20:11

Oh how lovely for them! Did they get a nice toy?

franke · 03/04/2008 20:11

Did they get free plastic tat?

kitsmummy · 03/04/2008 20:11

Perhaps slightly unreasonable. Why not ask her why she did it and stress, v strongly, that you don't want it to ever happen again

WideWebWitch · 03/04/2008 20:11

So did they say "oooh it was fab" or did they say "gosh, it wasn't like real food at all, it was chicken vaginas"

They each had an ice cream.

I have even drawn a huge red M on dd's calendar to mark the day.

I think it depends on what it is about this you object to
is it that CM took them out?
or let them eat Maccy D

Are you otherwise happy with her as your CM?

DJCod · 03/04/2008 20:12

they used the loos
arf

BreeVanDerCampLGJ · 03/04/2008 20:13

Oh God the poor children...

Seriously, take DS once a year, if that. We order a happy meal, DH eats the burger, DS the chips and his water and we leave with the toy.

It is a dreadful concept.

I think this is the funniest thing I've heard on MN for a looooong time

Are you eating the childminder for dinner tomorrow?

kiskideesameanoldmother · 03/04/2008 20:13

i am surprised she still has her head!

SorenLorensen · 03/04/2008 20:13

Oh, and ice cream hardly counts. They need to go back and have chicken mcnuggets, and mcfries, and mcfruitshoots and a mctoy.

Slouchy · 03/04/2008 20:13

Ooh how dreadful.

I asked dd what she had done all day as I was homesleeping and MNing doing a very taxing essay.

I had 'We danced,we read,we went for a walk and then we went to Macdonalds for an icecream'

Oh god, we used a Random Nanny in Toronto so I could go to my highschool reunion.

I suggested various local restaurants, left her with cash.

She took them to KFC. [nauseated]
