I just wanted to share something that happened to me yesterday.
A couple of weeks ago I was ill on the Sunday with an asthma attack and had to take the Monday off work. I couldn't let parents know until 10pm that I would be unable to work the next day because that's when I got home from hospital.
At the time, two sets of parents offered to have my children for the day so I could rest. The third was really concerned and said I should call them if there was anything they could do to help.
Yesterday morning my little mindee who only comes in one day a week turned up with a massive box of chocolates which they'd bought me when I was poorly but hadn't brought around because due to bank hols it was the first time I'd had the child since my unexpected 'day off'. It was the same set of parents who took my 14 YO for the day and gave him some motor mechanic lessons (my children are homeschooled so were home during the day). Apparently the 2 YO mindee had insisted they bought me some chocs to make me better, bless her.
I just wanted to share as we sometimes seem to get inundated with posts about parents who are not so great.
Anybody else got any nice stories to share?
