CM CLUB: Im getting a tad sick of this !

[StrawberrySnowflakes]

mindee turned up this morning at 8.30......NOT 9.30 as agreed......has just been to toilet and while doing a wee, mindee said i've pooed as well...didnt realise, so very loose(sorry tmi!)...i asked if she has had a poorly tummy this morning at mummys??..yes..and a nanas at weekend!...so mum drops of knowing her dd is poorly and doesnt think to mention it

sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..mum rang tonight to vollect early(not much) ...got here paid her fees, asked how much extra it would be for this morning and sadi how sorry she was...yeah yeah...me says "oh its ok this once"...but i did get in about charging fees if early or late in future which will be in news letter and contract ammendment..no problem...then she said she was going to put my fee in bank herself tomorrow but didnt want to mess me about since she forgot the other week and how sorry she was for that.....again i was all doormat like and Oh sokay!!..but again i did tll her i narrowly escaped charges for overdrawn meaning all fees had to be paid on time..no problem.................so basically feel ive made a mountain from a molehill and feel guilty for thinking bad..although i do stand by my descision to start charging.
dp came down and said 'what happend to the hard faced business bitch from earlier??'[LOL

'collect'

You sound just like me!!! 'oh.....it's ok'

Do they do assertiveness training for childminders???

i def need some!..was just so shocked she said it tho cos norm wouldnt have said sorry or anything?????

maybe she mumsnets too & read your posts !!! it's very hard to be a hard faced buisness bitch though isn't it

you may be right
today i tore home from taking dp to work so i could get dd to school and not be t=late for mindee..got dd to school 40 mins late! and trexting mum to say meet me at school..no sign so drove home and 10 mns later(20 mins after agreed drop off time) they arrived..i know traffic is bad hence my lateness but they live two mins up road and didnt evemn text to say they were late, i was stopping every ten mins to tel her how close i was

i don't suffer with early parents one of mine is always late once a whole hour i charge her of course but it's annoying as i'm really not a morning person !

Mine is always late, at least 10 minutes, but usually 30 minutes. And it's for a 7am start so I am up ready just in case for no reason! Not complaining, of course but it would be nice to have that extra time in bed

Sorry SS (tee) that you are having such trouble with it.

i know its just as bad when your up and ready and they turn up 20 mins late..ah well...seems its everyone tho doesnt it....
new mindee's mum is very new to all this and has minimum hours each week, sometime needing more, so i said minimum is 12..she put him in last week for 5 as thats al she needed, but soon realised this week(i did keep telling her, although maybe i shouldnt?[wink) that she might as well use the hours so ive had him today 8 hours and hes been an angel..older mindee has really taken to him so no more lashing out today...so had a better day
