Oh for goodness sake ! :panic:

Maybe we should make a TV programme about it. Along the lines of 'Children say the funniest things'
We could do one about 'Parents do the stupidist things':rolleyes:

The trouble is people would think we were making it up !

My 5 year old mindee turned up with Spiderman dvd this morning (the film, 12 rating). Now I'm no prude and my own 7 yr old son has this film, but I can't let mindee put it on after school in case another mindee gets nightmares or something and it will all come back on me!!! Mum is gonna think I'm a right jobsworth when I tell her at pick up time!

I have an 7 year old mindee who wnats me to put shaun of the dead on over Halloween! Says his mum lets him watch it all the time. Don't think that will be happening here!!!!

I have one that turns up some mornings to walk to school with an ice lolly. He is normally covered in it before we arrive at school. I despair.

My son had chewing gum at 3 yrs old
He used to get ear infections all the time and our GP told us that chewing gum helps stop them,
Have to say it helped but he only had it supervised!!

One of mine aged 3yrs often arrives with 2 jammie dodgers at 8am for his breakfast as they are running late!

Word of caution ladies - Parents can read this forum. I think if I was a parent reading some of the posts made by childminders of late I would be loathed to contribute and would probably not be totally impressed. Sorry but its true.

This is a very good point and it has been made before by Sarah. I know that sometimes we all need a bit of support and advice and this forum is fantastic for that but to just come on to criticise parents for "poor" choices is not really that useful to anyone.

Be aware that parents might be able to identify you by your posts.

Not saying this goes for all parents!!! But the fact is that some parents do do these things. The only parents that would take offence to reading these posts would be the ones that do this sort of thing! And to be honest they must know what they're doing isn't right!
