There are parents out there who appreciate us and its so nice when they tell us.
Yesterday my mindee A was due to clock of at 1pm, Mum had taken the afternoon off but as Dad had had a hospital procedure yesterday morning I offered to have A till end of school. Told mum I wanted to take her to Toddler craft session.
Mum rang and said would she mind if she joined us as she'd love to spend a bit of time with me . So we all went down to Toddler and had a great time - us parents ended up doing the crafts the kids played on the toys!!!!
We walked round to school and mum was saying she was really pleased with the way things have worked out and the way I have stuck by them through all the "problems". She was asking about the EYFS and could I lend her the pack so she could have a look at it and then she can back me up with what I am doing !!! She was also saying that she really appreciates all the hard work, extra bits and bobs - blimey I was getting quite emotional by this time . Another example is the other week when I was having a rather bad week with one of my children at school - she bought me a lovely bunch of flowers (a bunch of sunshine as my mindee called them!!)
I ramble - but my point is when you get compliments like this it makes the job worth doing. And to show some of the newbies on here that not all parents are awful.
Hope you all have a good weekend
