Four local boys aged 8-5yrs old wanted to come over and play in my garden!
They know I'm a CM and just think they can come when they like, but I'm full of a rotten cold and hacking cough and I really just want to chill and not worry about them messing up all the toys again and running around the garden, churning up mud and bringing it into the house.
Feel mean, but sometimes it feels like they are waiting for parents to collect the mindees and then they think...lets go over to Ripeberry's ;)
I just sent my daughter to play with them, most of them are her friends anyway, they might all just go back to their own house.
Do you feel that you can't switch off, even if the kids are not your mindees ?
