    Default worse things said on first parent meetings

    Just sitting here thinking about my first ever parent meeting, it was for a full time 8 month old baby, and i was soooooooooooo nervous

    It didn't occur to me, to pick up the baby, or adimre it

    I then spent about 30 mins telling her if she was late or I couldn't get hold of her i'd be phoning social services

    Needless so say i never heard from her again!!

    Anyone done worse than this??

    When someone tells you nothing is impossible, tell them to go slam a revolving door

    @ the above!
    parsley petal, how quick thinking! id have ummed and ahhed haha!

    I remember talking about my lost child policy, mum was horrified and told me that if i planned on losing her children then i wasnt the cm she wanted!



    I was so nervous i couldnt get her to understand that i had the policy just in case and not because it would happen - she was off!

    oh and the time i stood on a crawling baby she was up and out too...

    hmmm wonder why im empty eh?

    What's for you, wont pass by you
