saltire.. did you

[thebody]

sort out those looney parents.. not the really really looney ones just the ones with strange ideas about cming????

Hi Saltire

I saw that the thread disappered, and I wanted to say I have been thinking of you. Last year I had a right bunch of bonkers parents!

yes I had a chat with them to put their minds at rest.
As for the other thread, well i was having a shite day on Monday and really needed to let it out somewhere. I have no CMs nearby that I can chat to,or anyone else really, just you lot. However a parent came on that thread and was nasty to me and really upset me, I was actually in tears by that point. That's why i got it deleted. it means though that I now can't offload onto anyone as i certainly won't be doing it on MN again, not in reference to CM'ing anyway. thats 2 major issues in my life now that i have got no support over. but hey ho, thanks for asking it was nice of you

Oh Saltire I am sorry your having such a cr*P time.

Please feel free to message me on here if you ever need a chat x

Thank you Booh. It's not just with the Cming though. I think in that case if the mum just took on board what I said.

((hugs)) sorry you were upset :(

I assumed you got that thread deleted

The mum was out of order replying like that

You have never named names and yes maybe someone could work out who you are etc - you still need somewhere to vent

Name change for ranty posts or feel free to mess me if you fancy a rant xx

god how awful.. its not as if we ever name names on here.. its such a good way of asking advice, having a laff and yes venting.. whats wrong with that..we dont all have collegues as by nature most cms work alone

hugs.. and I hope my post hasnt caused you any problems

name change??

What about joining one of the CM specific forums. There's UKRegistered Childminders which is a Yahoo group & open to CM's only, there's Mind Your Business which is a closed group on FB and there's childminding help which has all sorts of mini forums for general chat as well as cm stuff & has a cm members only section. You need somewhere to vent!

I dont often post on here but i REALLY feel for you Saltire.
I did follow your other thread and I can empathise with you. As per usual its the parents that cause the problems not the children.
As ever your parents seem to have forgotten that you have opening and closing signs like any other business but be cause we childminders wirk from home that dont think twice about arriving early/late.
You wouldnt get them dropping kids off at nurserys early/late because they wouldnt put up with it.
I too have had enough lately and fingers crossed have got a job in an adult environment away from children and their pain the arse parents. I cant wait.
I really hope things get better for you, you really have had more than your fair share of crap lately.
