:blush: My 2 yr old daughter gets very very jealous of my mindees! She especially creates a fuss when parents are picking their children up or dropping them off and Im just so worried this looks bad on my part? :blush:
She will want me to pick her up when mindees arrive or leave and also will be quite argumentative. Such as will not get out of the way to let mindees come in, tell them she does not want them here/does not like them, cry, do the opposite of what I have asked her to do etc etc :eek:
For example today I had a 7 month old for 2 hr settling in, when mum came to pick up my daughter got into little ones car seat and would not get out no matter how much I asked her! And it was only the 2nd settling in session for this little one!
I have been minding for just over a yr and to start with she was ok, them she went terrible as per above, then she got better for a couple of month and then since the summer hols she has gone worse. (Although she will get the odd occasion when she is completly fine!)
She is a very sweet little girl but just has a thing about sharing me!
Please help as Im really not sure how to deal with this and dont want people to think Im not very good as what I do?? :(
