Childminder's Club: So what's more important?

[Katymac]

Your job or your child?

I have a 2yo with terrible diahorrea

I phoned the mum, she can't leave work as she is too busy...could I just drop her child off at her mums
Well actually no I can't I have 5 other children to look after and i can't just troop off to anothe village 5 miles away (even if it wasn't raining)

So poor child (instead of being cuddled up on mummy lap,) is in a travel cot in my formal lounge watching Ceebeebies.

I can't let her stay in their without the cot as it's not child proof
I can't drop her home
Mum won't arrive until 6:30

Do I give her notice?

she is within her rights not to have him Tommy. Cm's should not be looking after sick children. A sick child should be with it's parent. Whether she got it from cms son or not is not the point, the cm has a duty to the parents of other mindees in her care to exclude the child.

I took my mindee whilst he had cp as I wanted my dd to get it and I only have the one mindee
(ds has already had it - so not an issue)

also, if she takes a child with cp it restricts what she can do. She can't turn up at a drop in with a child with cp.

that's awful, KM!!

Thanks hon, that's why I'm a bit defensive atm

She's collecting her DD's stuff on Monday and not returning her - fair enough

thank you - I'll pass that information on - I'm just a lowly SAHM - I have no idea how you CMs work!

KM, I hope things improve after Monday for you all!

And Tommy a SAHM is anything but lowly!!
