I'm a bit miffed

[fivesacrowd]

Just said goodbye to a mindee for the first time. He's been here for 2 years and I've supported him through health problems, his parents splitting up, had him loads of extra hours at short notice, had him in the school holidays (I'm term time only), dropped him off at various places when mum couldn't collect, generally gone above and beyond. So, to mark him leaving, I had a special cat based craft day as he loves cats and a special cake and made him a book with photos from his time here all recipes for all the things we've made and made a huge fuss of him all day. Would a bunch of flowers have been too much to expect?

and how awful fiveascrowd that she ignored your loss like that

sounds as though you are well rid. Enjoy your wine x

I've had some families for over 11 years leave and not even a thank you card. I don't expect a gift, I am after all paid to provide a service, even though it is the very best possible and I always go the extra mile.

A thank you card is all that is needed, I keep them and appreciate some of the words written in them Unlike the photo of the child put in a frame, and the dear minded child said, my mummy took that frame and took an old photo out of it to put one of me in it!! I think it came from Poundland, sadly I binned it!
