Sorry this is a rant!:blush:

I bumped into M's Dad coming out of the supermarket and I pointed out in a jokey way that she had already taken her socks off. Well how many babies do you know that keep their socks on :huh: Plus the fact that these sock just don't seem to have any elastic in them.

Anyhoo, her dad says to me 'don't you have any shoes you can put on her?' Um, hello??? No I don't funnily enough as you didn't supply me with any to put on her :angry: I just told him we were getting straight in the car anyway but wish I had said something now :rolleyes:

I feel better for getting that off my chest!

Come on guy's we are just being silly - we have to be ready for everything! Coats, shoes, scarves, hats, gloves. Feed them, keep them safe, dry tears, make them laugh. Marriage guidance, health visitor, school liaison officer................. There are 48 hours in a day right????:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

that makes is sounds easy - that's only half the job isn't it. and don't forget we need to offer a 'buy now pay later' service as well as BOGOF deals for siblings and fill vacancies for the odd afternoon or hour when parents don't feel like bringing their kids and want their money back.:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

I had a 4 year old today turned up just in her school fleece, her 20 mth sibling had her coat though. I normally walk to school its about 20 min but had to drive to pick her up as it was pouring and knew she would get soaked. All she said was daddy was in a rush and she would walk fast so she wouldnt get wet. tis job is made to test us lol.
