My mindees are an hour late now. No reply to text message. Never been this late before. humph

I always think the worst. Right now it's:
Car crash or
She's decided to stop bringing them without telling me

humph humph humph

When do you think I should ring her?

I'd ring them now, just explain you were worried in case there'd been an accident or something. Maybe they've had a late night and have overslept.

I'm having the same problem :mad: Every single day of the holidays so far mindee has turned an hour late except the one day I didn't get ready and then they turned up on time :panic:
It doesn't matter how many times I say about phoning they still turn up late.

Hope they turn up soon :thumbsup:

I have had this since last week, never seen one of my mindees since Wednesday as gran is here from India so he is staying at home but i am not being told, not too bothered as i have other mindees but tomorrow i will only have him as others are off so i am going to ring mum tonight and ask if gran can have him tomorrow otherwise he will probably turn up :)

They're here! Asleep on the settee already, only been here 10 mins. Mum wasn't working this morning, wish she'd told me, I could've stayed in bed longer!!

Oh well, no car crashes at least!:thumbsup:

I hate it when they don't tell you they are going to arrive late and could have had longer in bed. At least they are safe and nothing drastic happened. x

That would do my head in

Explain to her that sometimes you take the children out and if they are not on time you are not going to wait - or ask her to at least tell you in advance if they are arriving late

Good luck
