Looks like an indoor day today, painting, and messy play, here we come...

Indoors for us too - shame as we were going out for a picnic at the local wildlife reserve. Oh well, picnic on the carpet it is!

Hope everyone has a good day, x

really dont want to be working today

had my 6mo mindee turn up today with out any nappies, food or milk. when i phoned mum about it she said to put her in the same nappies as her brother (he's 2) and to give her a cheese or ham sandwich at dinner time and they had started giving her cows milk!

so put her in her brothers nappy which is way too big and given her cows milk which hasnt stayed down. i'm reslly really not sure what to give her at lunch time tho (when i would normally give her stage 1 pureed food) as she has no teath to eat a sandwich with!

still nothing can top mindees parents who after i told them i wouldnt be working today as i had a mc and wanted a few days off told me i was inconvenienceing (sp?) them and i was really putting them out, so here i am working today, crying everytime i sit down.
why do i bother, if i didnt need the money i would be giving the lot of them notice.

oh and i have ofsted coming this week, which i am going to try and cancell, i'm not sure i can cope witht that right now.

leonifay · 18/05/2009 09:04

oh dear, i just realised how whiny and self centred that post was. very sorry. hope the sun comes out soon and every one has a really good day

HSMM · 18/05/2009 09:17

leonifay - We are all here to listen to people whine and be self centred (which you evidently are not). Don't worry about it. I can't believe you are working today (and all the odd baby care instructions you have been given) ... what a hero. Take care of yourself.

Numberfour · 18/05/2009 09:32

leonifay, your post was not self centred. that's the last thing you should be worried about. cannot believe those bloody parents of yours.

yes, cancel OFSTED. definitely not something you can handle now.

hope you get through today okay.

Littlepurpleprincess · 18/05/2009 12:49

Those parent's sound like the self centred ones to me.

Littlepurpleprincess · 18/05/2009 13:48

Ahhhh! Mindee is driving me bonkers. I simply can't be patient with him much longer without going mad!

it's ridiculas! I know I can handle one toddler easy but this one...He makes me feel like I'm crap at my job, I feel like I'm telling them off all day! and I can't really put my finger on what is wrong, he's not naughty, I just don't like this child!

is that awful?

Littlepurpleprincess · 18/05/2009 16:59

Am calm again now...

Shoshe · 18/05/2009 17:06

Well middle mindee didnt come in today because of sickness bug, so that left me with oldest mindee and baby mindee, (baby came back after a weeks holiday)

4 o'clock oldest mindee projectiled across the play room, so tomorrow only the bay.

poor little babes (and why couldn't it have been last week, would only have had the schoolies then!)

a thoroughly good day had by all then....

nannynick · 18/05/2009 17:17

Having been on holiday for over a week now, I'm not looking forward to getting up early tomorrow morning.

Think I had better set two alarms!

For those interested, I've updated by Mumsnet photo's - so you can put a face to a name.

mumlove · 18/05/2009 19:06

Evening all.

I have had a busy day, 3rd settling in visit for baby mindee. Baby doesn't like me moving at all!!!

We need dry weather for Wednesday as doing a toddlethon.

Hope you all have a quiet evening.
