    One of my pet hates is posters/flyers on display after the event has taken place! I just hate it and find it really annoying.

    When partner says he'll help to tidy up before the cleaner comes today and only tidies his side of the bed up! What about the rest of the house?

    When partner has breakfast and leaves empty milk cartons on unit, bowl with leftovers in on unit (like we haven't got a bin in the kitchen)

    Is off to Prague for the weekend with his mates. (has been abroad 5times in 2 years without me and daughter, me abroad 0).

    When partner says to let clutch out slowly when i'm driving his car but almosts kills mine when he drives it.

    Rude ungrateful mindees
    The list could go on but it'll only wind me up!

    How when i let mindees choose a DVD to watch they can never agree.

    How whenever i manage to get my paperwork up to date Ofsted bring something else out.

    Doing my accounts. It seems to come round so fast
    Just thought I'd share Wendy,hope you don't think I'm cheeky.I had the same prob with DVDS or pay per view.Now the older mindees draw straws.Works like a dream.

    So many of these hit a erve I'm feeling quite cross now and I was very happy before I read this thread

    To add a couple...... 'why?' all day long is getting annoying.
    My husband patting himself on the back for doing one of the jobs I do all the time.
    People whose toddlers are badly behaved at groups and don't keep an eye on them - so your child/mindee gets their toys snatched.

    And all the wee related ones you mentioned.

    And people who swear realy loudly in their gardens when they know you have kids outside.

    And cigarette butts on MY lawn when we don't smoke.

    And my hair.

    And mindees telling you they like something then deciding they don't after one mouthfull.

    And.......

    Two from today...

    N specifically asked me on Friday if we could have pizza for luch. I said, no, I havent got any, but we can go on Monday and chose one for lunch. Feeling all like a good childminder. First thing she said this morning..pizza for lunch? So yes - we walked to Tesco in the pouring rain to buy the pizza Id promised her, the whole time its cooking shes perstering etc...its cooked, take it out and share it out...two bites later..."Schnakes...N not hungry"....AAARRRGGH!!!

    Number two (and a real mean one!!) the constant CONSTANT..."Schnakes, watch me do this, look at this, I can do this...watch watch!!!" (and all they're doing is jumping or something else you've seen them do a million times before! And you've got to sit there and feign interest...over and over and OVER again!!!

    Sx

    Does a black and white springer count? He only used to do it when excited but I've got him doing it on command now.

    When dh says, 'I have washed up for you!', or to the kids, 'move that for your mum', or 'I have put the washing on for you',

    I can not get through to him, that it is for the good of the house not just for me!!!!
    And not every job is mine and no i don't or shouldn't have to feel grateful for him doing his share, (well less than his share, but that could get me moaning till christmas), we are both cm and so we both work at home! We both had the kids and use stuff in the house!

    Oh, now that's so true......

    My nearl-three-year-old mindee has spent all afternoon asking me if we can go to the park - it's been pouring all day:

    'Go play park now?'
    'No, not today'
    'Why?'
    'Because it's raining'

    5 minutes later, 'Go play park now?'
    'No, not today'
    'Why?'

    do you think its because we always smile at them or do you think its because he knew he was in trouble
    Archie does it as a greeting, unfortunatly some people take it the wrong way and think that hes showing teeth even though he's wagging his tail at the same time.
