What a cheek,you are not a flipping taxi service!!!
I am a bit in shock, some people never cease to amaze do they!!!!
Just tel them no way, you are a childminder, you have your own children aswell as your own family to think of and other minded children.
I cant quite believe it!!!

It is a cheek

Re: dropping mindies off
I agree completely with what Lou said. What do they think you are? There's no way I would be doing that either.

Re: dropping mindies off
I agree with what the others have said, but it would also limit you to the numbers of mindees you have to the spaces you have in your car, if you have all got to get in the car to take one child home, this might not be a problem now but it maybe in the future if someone has the need for early evening childcare.

Re: dropping mindies off
What a rip take - definitely wouldn't do it.
Put your family first and tell them straight is my advice.

Some parents!

Re: dropping mindies off
Can't believe it Sar, how cheeky to expect you to do all this for them. It's not fair on you at all.
Don't worry if she is Bossy, don't take no problems from her as it is your business and if she doesn't like it, that is up to her.

Re: dropping mindies off

i agree with tasha and chubby mummy charge a fortune then they can have the choice or you can have the money but i wouldn't do it not even for £20 a night i hate the cold so once i'm home i stay in

Re: dropping mindies off
anyway if they're leaving work evn if they are having to come out of their way then surely they are out already so can just drive the extra distance to yours

Re: dropping mindies off
No i agree Mandy, i wouldnt even do it for £2* a night.
You know sometimes i dont like going out in the cold to do the school run, but i wouldnt ask the teachers to drop them off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
