How do you cope with Mindees you don't particularly like? I'm worried our Childminder doesn't seem to like our DS very much. We think he's wonderful (obviously) but she seems to find him very hard work (he's very lively, 13 months just started walking). Even when prompted she doesn't seem to say anything positive about him. It's bugging us.
I picked him up today and her husband was arriving back from work and said in a sarcastic tone 'Oh, he's smiling' and another Mindee's Mum has said something similar in my earshot, so clearly she's moaning about his crying.
DS doesn't seem stressed apart from at pick up and drop off, but it's a worry that she doesn't seem to have developed much affection for him after 2 months. I know CM's can't love all children, but is it asking too much for her to pretend just a little?!
