Daily Diary - Is this bad of me?
I've looked after a little one since he was 6months old and now he's 32m :D
I've always done a written diary for all my Preschool children and parents have always found it useful. Having three diaries a day does take its toll but I stuck with it. At first the parents of the 6m old used to read his diary as she used to comment on things I wrote but over the months and years she has stopped.
I know this because:
Mum will ask me questions about something that if she had read the diary she would know
I find things that I have put in his diary are still in there weeks later
I wrote holiday dates in it and when I reminded Mum a few weeks later she told me she hadn't read them
If I write 'Easter party next week at toddler group' she is surprised when I tell her on the morning of the party
If I ask her outright she tells me she occasionally looks through it on a weekend if she has time
So, because I don't like wasting my time I've stopped writing in it and she's not mentioned it at all. Would anyone have continued with it?
