Would you be offended if your childminder didn't invite you to her wedding?

[LoveMyGirls]

Yes or no answers will do.

TIA

Wouldn't and didn't occur to me to invite any of my parents or mindees to our wedding tbh.

It would have felt like being at work,can't think of anything worse lol.

YES i'd be highly offended

ha ha ha not really

i'd hate to be invited but would feel obliged to go IYSWIM.

No, I wouldn't. Some people sort of think they have a 'right' to attend your wedding. Those people should be slapped soundly with a cold, wet fish.

Happy Wedding!

No.

But I would hope she saved me a piece of cake.

i was bridesmaid at my nannies wedding, when i was six. it was fan-tastic.

but then she had had me for six years. and she maintains to this day that she got married mainly so i could be a bridesmaid.

i still send her mothers day cards - completely different situ, but thought i'd share!

I looked after a little boy once, his mother handed him to me as she walked through the front door from the hospital and said she was going for a long hot shower and didn't want to see either of us for the next two hours . I looked after him 7.30 till 7.00 every day with neither hide nor hair of the mother and I came in on one Monday to find he'd been christened on the Sunday, big do, loads of people and not a fecking word to me. I was pissed off over that one.

To put it in perspective, in my previous family who were friends of the above, I was godmother to their youngest dd. She and her sister were then bridesmaids at my wedding. Probably unusual but I was very close to all of the children from both families.

In short, depends on your relationship I guess.

I agree that it depends on the relationship. I think that comparing to a boss at work is a bit different as the service is much more personal. In the past I wouldn't have invited parents but I just so happen to have a very good and close relationship with at least 3 of my families. I'm apparantly a 2nd mummy to their DCs One family invited me over for birthday cake on mindee's birthday. It was a little hard to fit in as it happens to be my birthday the same day, but they refer to my family as extended family and I felt it right to be there.

It really really does depend on your relationship with them imo, have a think about them individually and see what you think. If you have a good relationship but not an especially close one where you get together outside of the childminding then I wouldn't invite them. If, like me, you have some you go to dinner with, have parties with, get together as friends outside of childminding then that would be different.

Good luck hun, I know how excited you are about it all (sorry not been on msn much lately, bloomin laptop!! grrr) xx

We were at our c/minders wedding last September - as were all her mindees

We had a fab day!!

I wouldn't have been offended if we hadn't been asked though!! We were quite shocked to be invited...
