It's pissing it down, I was planning on going out - mindee just turned up in FLIP FLOPS, disney princess dress, no fcking knickers and no coat.

BRILL.

I have spares but no coat so we are stuck in now.

Good idea. You could maybe say like this:

I have noticed that mindee isn't wiping her bottom properly as her knickers are always really mucky?

Then see what mum says.

is she there over night chick?..i had a little girl similar..single mum as well, mindee was always dirty nd i frequently lied about why id washed her coat(feel over in puddle= it was so filthy i couldnt bare the poor child to walk around like that), mum just expected it in end..i would comment in diary and say along lines of dd wet herself today, as she was wearing my spares she needed yesterday(getting point across you know they wernt changed) i have put them in wash to save you job, had noticed x doesnt seem to be able to grasp wiping properly at minute, so as your probably doing already i will keep and eye on and help if needed and i think a fresh clea pair each day will help prevent itching or infections whilst shes struggling...something like that????

No I don't do overnights but mum works till late on occasion so I don't mind the odd one off.

Have written in book as above ^^

If that doesn't help I'll have to be a bit more blunt I think. As you say, she'll end up with an infection!

yeah i think thats the best way to go, not express your disgust but put across the hygeine and infection concern..awful situ isnt it!..i used to have my mindee over night and she used to have a lovely soak in tub whenever she was with me

I nannied for a little girl who in a day when it snowed was dressed in a long sleeve T shirt and that was IT (and thin trousers and socks and a nappy)

not even a jumper style top OR a vest OR a coat... and i had to take her outside from nursary into my FREEZING car back to her house like that

one (warm) day i picked her up and she was wearing jeans and 2 long sleeve dresses... yes 2 dresses, one on top of the other
(you could always tell if MUMMY hadnt left out the exact clothes she wanted daddy to put her in )
