Having done a daily diary for a mindee who started just before xmas, I had written about what she could do when she started and her transition into my setting (having come from a day nursery at 3.) and have since written comments and achievements etc daily. Parents and grandparents not really contributing even tho being asked regularly. I have kept it going, Well this morning the child has arrived and whilst sorting out lunch items etc to put away into fridge I came across the diary all front pages ripped out and the ones left have been scribbled all over by the child.
This was after oarent had left. I commented "Oh what happened here" xxx answered. "i did that" .
I tried to say that I had wanted that book to be special for her and she says well mommy says its your book you do what you want "
I just feel so upset as I had put a lot of work in even tho its the diary.
Sometimes I just feel we work hard for nothingxxx sorry for the rant just needed to get it out. Well just have to see what my networker makes of this when she comes out. She thinks its easy to get the parents to do things.
