ok roll up weirdies who NEVER leave their kdis wiht anyone

[TheDaVinciCod]

where are you all?
let me peer at you and prod you

I left Dd with a new babysitter and now she smells of perfume. May have to launder her.

did i say strangers?
no
its like your mum?
ro a mate who has kids hte same age

LOL at cappucino.

sorry rm misread the tone of your post

I didn't let babysitter take her out house though and I was in the next room "working". Thoguht she might try and flog her to a celebrity.

and if they speak less oherently as teenagers do you have to saty with em again

Hmm, I was a bit twitchy about leaving DS1 ... I don't think he got left with people much until he was about one, at which point I was fed up of him and would have left him with anyone.

Seriously, my parents were crap at organising childcare, my sister and I had a series of terrifying babysitters/nannies/whatever, complete nightmares, so I used to be more comfortable with nurseries etc than individuals. But I do use a few nannies now.

To explain slightly. My mum is crazed and I wouldn't trust her with a dog never mind my children.

My inlaws are well meaning but wouldn't understand that if we were out a screaming child actually wants a parent and it isn't doing us a favour to not let us know. I put my childrens well being first.

And of course I do actually like being with them and DH wants to spend his free time with them.

verbal children however... dd1 starts playgroup 3 mornings in 4 weeks.

i have only ever left my 2 with family.

would never ever get a babysitter from the phone book or whatever.... if family cant do it, tough.

at this thread title

My inlaws actually last people I would leave mine with. They are hopeless vague and bufterish and likely to shut child's head in door of car or spear it with a shooting stick

DS speaks coherently until it is time to leave the table and then he mutters "please may I leave the table" and when asked to repeat himself shouts in a staccato voice "please may I leave the table". So I just wonder off and leave him there while DH is stacking the dishwasher until he becomes coherent.

so OBVIOSLY peopel who LEAVE their kdis with bab sitters to enjoy time mye wiht mates of partner DONT LIKE thisr kids?

helicpter parenting

oh and they smell of nothing really - soap flakes and vinegar here!

I beg people to take them off my hands ....

I leave mine with anyone. At creche at church on a Sunday I don't know WHO will have ds2 in the creche, or the others in Sunday School. But they all love it!

I have the last laugh as well - dropping them off at playgroup/school is a dream - they give me a kiss and say 'Go now Mum'.

Can't imagine not wanting to leave them at all - I need space as a human being otherwise I go mad!

jarm you don't count as a weirdie under cod's definition because you need to have only left them with DH.

WARNING TO THOSE MOTHERS!!!!

I didn't leave dd (Now 5) with anyone ever She came, to doc appointments, dental apps, hairdresser, everywhere with me. Not even when I went to the toilet did I leave her...she sat at the door with the door slightly ajar so I could see her feet/whatever I was totally obsessive... to the point that no-body wanted to visit me, I wouldn't let anyone hole her, feed her, touch her etc... she was mine. I had waited a while to get pregnant with her, and had a horrendous pregnancy, a quick labour and was totally in love with her... dh would come home many a day and I wouldn't have moved off the sofa or ate a bite, as I had been looking at, feeding and holding dd all day, only moving to change her nappy. My god..... then I fell pregnant again... sweet lordy... that child went beserk! I had to go into hosp for 6 weeks with hyperemisis.. and she was left with my mum, my mil, and a sister of mine.. all taking it in turns whilst the others worked/shopped/were busy.. My poor baby almost had a nervous breakdown as she hadn't spent much time ever with anybody... I was off my rocker!!
Then after ds was born I started leaving him with my aunt, my mil etc..to get him used to others as I had well and truly learnt my lesson with dd. I began working 3 days a week, and left dd and ds with a c/minder. dd went beserk there too... cried for me for hours, ds settled great as he had been used to being away from me In the end the c/minder wouldn't take care of dd anymore as she cried so much. I had to give up work

Get then used to others, please, what happens when they go to school..they will be in the care of others there?????
