my mindees parents call any time they also have my mobile number incase i'm out and about
i dont mind phone calls its nice to be reasurred
text are prob best thought as cm can read it when she has 5 mins rather then trying to talk to you on the phone while nappy changing/feeding/singing is on

Even when I've had a child for quite a while, parents still sometimes like a quick update on what sort of day we're having (especially if the parent is having a bad day!)
I don't have a problem with having a phone call, but it's certainly easier to get a text (and to reply).

lol @ crace! maybe you recognise my "name" too.
well dd had a great day and was very pleased to see me when i collected her.
she's back on weds, we only do 2 days per week, so hopefully she'll do really well there.
she already knows how to "play" the system. i said no to another rice cake so off she toddled to CM and lifted her arms LOL.
anyways, thanks all for your reassuring words.

my "parents" text me every day to ask how their lo's are.and im always available to talk to also,may sometimes be a bit rushed but a simple "yep they are fine no need to worry" is all thats needed.
and like strawb when they first start i always send texts thro the day just to put mum/dads mind at ease.
and im always honest! i dont just say "yep they are fine" if they have been screaming their nuts off all day!!!
