Feeling a bit sad-not even a thanks.

[joanna4]

My first ever mindee has left as his mum has a baby due and once her leave is over he will be ready for state nursery.I have had him from being a few months old so well over 2 years now.In that time i have had days when he hasnt been well enough to come but has or i have specially taken him lots of places at their request.Sometimes i have gone along with their ideas even though we havent been in agreement.I have organised alternative care when i have been away or booked them days out through surestart.Most importantly he has been loved and safe in my care.So now he has gone but not a word of thanks it makes me feel sad,anything above is always a bonus at any rate.
I am pleased that i have filled his place almost immediately but this time it will all be on my terms and say so.

That's such a shame Joanna. Like many others on here I am sure, we go out of our way to thank the nursery nurses who have looked after ds and dd, as we really appreciate the care they give.

joanna, don't let one ungrateful experience sour you. Most people are much nicer than this!

That is disgusting, I always thank my CM at the end of every day, as does my DS 4, I buy her birthday presents and Christmas presents and when I am feeling flush I buy her some flowers.

I will be taking DS away from her in the next 6 months,(main reasons being that I want DS to be with some of his schoolfriends/ and his diction and grammar are slipping )but even still I know that I will be weeping buckets as I am walking out the door.

Poor you that must have been a horrible feeling.

Oh that is so sad - I got tearful in July this year when we waved goodbye to the world's best teacher at the end of year one and goodness knows how I'll be able to say goodbye to ds's childminder on his last day (which is not looming or anything) as he has been with her since he was six months old and he is now almost seven years old! All I know is that there will definaitely be tears!

Make that twice now cos dad has just popped in for something he left behind and still not a word,I am gutted.

Awww poor you!

Thats not very nice at all? Not even a thank you?

Nope .

yeah i had that too, i put up with lateness every week with no apologies then she moved her for work reasons [ more hours/days] i ahd no thanks, no presents, and when it was her daughters birthday i left a pressie for her at nursery but didnt even get a word of thanks or acknowledgment.. it really makes you feel hurt and used

When I gave up work (pregnant with dts) and it was my DS last day with CM, we got her chocolates, flowers and a personalised thankyoucard with a picture of ds on.

I can't believe that they've not even said thankyou! It must make you feel so unappreciated. Are you sure that they know this is his last day??!!

Yes they do know its his last day cos his mum said well i most likely will see you around at tots.

Perhaps she's organised a nice, big party and will give you a cake?? (I'm clutching at straws here)

Maybe she felt a bit emotional about saying goodbye and didn't know how to?

Bless you for being so kind but no, although the thought of cake is rather appealling I have to say!
Even worse this person is family too so it just wont be see you around at tots either.
