More of a should I/shouldn't I really

[MamaG]

neighbour who I get on well with but couldn't quite class as a mate is single mum with 2 dds, she works P/T as a teacher.

On teh 3 days she works, the DDs got to CM before school and she collects them after tea (or dinner if you're not northern!!)

The CM is late for school with teh DC every day - and I mean every day. I usually chat for 5 mins in teh playground after drop off (cringe at cliquey self) and when I have eventually waddled back to my house (live 2 mins away) I see CM and the children EVERY day rushing past me to get there. The bell's gone, teh kids are all in school.

Should I mention it to neighbour, or do you think school will? I usually keep right out of other people's business, but I know it would piss me off if I were in neighbour's shoes

I would; I'd be exceptionally pissed off if I was paying her and she was ruining their attendance records

mention it to her.

I would say something

what LewisFan said

Do you talk to the CM? Perhaps mention it to her first, and then if there is no improvement, mention it to the mum.

No, Idon't know the CM at all - will mention to neighbour when I see her next

I would let the school deal with it. It's not your problem, none of your business; if the school have an issue with it, they will take it up with the parent. I am swimming against the tide I realise but it's a school issue, not a neighbour one IMO

Our school give a report with the amount of lates on at the end of year, so prehaps it will catch up with the CM in the end? (A long time I know).

I would stay out of it, you won't get any thanks!TBH if I ws the mum I'd think you were a sticky beak.

Good point Honoria, but I would still speak to your neighbour.

I once told a mum (similar to you, get on with her but don't often see her) about her ds' childminder. She appreciated it tbh.

It's not something I've ever done before But I was very concerned about how he was being treated (more than just being regularly late)

I woud have thought either the school or the woman's children would have raised this with her already.

Not sure if I'd mention it.

I would mention it....I would be most miffed if I was paying someone to take mine to school and they were regularly late. she will appreciate it I am sure.

I would mention it. I only just found out a year later that the parent that helped me out last term was quite often late bringing my daughter and their own daughter into school. Too late to say anything now in my case, as nothing can be changed about the past.

I would tell her.

feel indecisive now
