Every time I have a moan about parents who .....

Arrive late
Stay at the door and dont go at pick up
Forget to send nappies or wipes
Send kids poorly
Moan when I want them to collect their little ones when ill
Take me for granted
Dont look at their childrens daily diary
Screw the kids work up or dont even look at it
Ring me at the most stupidest times
Are late paying me - or worse ......
Forget to pay me

The list goes on and on

For all that

Im sooooo glad im a childminder because of the nice parents that I have

Today one of my parents gave me my christmas present early she said she thought I needed it due to my sad news etc

She had got me the biggest bunch of flowers - a big box of chocolates
My fav CK perfume
Also some books for our play room - cooking and story books

How nice was that

Makes me very happy to be a childminder when parents appreciate me like that

Awww what nice, just wish all parents appreciate the hard work we do, i know I'm not a childminder yet, but i do look after children in an oosc. So sorry to hear of your lose. :group hug: sorry i cant give you a real hug. Take care xx

Aw what a lovely parent, that must have really cheered you up.:)

Why can't they all be like that??

there are some very nice parents out there believe it or not i still have 3 sets the rest are:censored:

thats why im still a childminder:D

That's lovely Angel.

I got up this morning and after chasing my 2 dds to get up and out for the bus by 7.15, I was feeling run down and fed up then my first mindee arrived at 7.30 with a huge box of chocs. That cheered me up and there's still a few left!!!!!

How kind is that, just what you needed, did you cry? I think I would have!

Ahh, how lovely and generous of her! Hope that cheered you up a little.

Thats lovely Angel

I've had a tin of roses and a tesco voucher from one of my mums who's lovely.

Not expecting anything else didn't evan get a thank you for another mindee's birthday present.

Angela

Thats lovely

Thats very nice of the mum. Its so good that some people do think and appreciate the few people that makes a different in their lives even though more than half the people you go out of way for never appreciates a thing.

Enjoy your gifts

thats really nice dont you just wish all parents appreciate the hard work we do

It would be lovely to be appreciated all the time for the work we do with our mindees but little gestures from parents like the parent who gave angeldelight an early Christmas present make up for a great deal of the thoughtless behaviour of others :)

awwwwwww there are some lovely parents out there.

Thats so nice of her :clapping:

so far I have had a card which was lovely from the lo I look after x

that is so lovely Im really glad your parents appreciate you Angel xxxxx

That lovley Angel, its moments like that when all the hard work you do makes it seem worthwhile..
dont eat them all at once tho:laughing:

wow can i burrow ur parents...lol

i know wot u mean one of mine gave me a £60 !!! salon voucher for xmas,so on my day off yesterday i had my hair and nails done it was great to be pampered, this is the same one who when i informed her i was having my inspection the next day arived the next morning with a card her and lo had made wishing me good luck and a bottle wine for after xxx makes it all worthwhile :clapping:

Oh Angel thats so nice of them!

So pleased that they showed you that they appriciate you, you deserve it!!

I know what you mean - I have four sets of parents, they are all lovely, this week one gave me what I thought was an Christmas card inside was £20 in Odeon vouchers and the most lovely letter, saying how much she approciates all I do for her lo and the confidence I give her in her parenting skills (she is a single mum) and support I offer has given her the confidence to continue with furthering her career and further study.:blush:

Definitely brought a tear to my eye. Nice of her to give me something for the family as childminding at home certainly impacts on the whole family.:)

Thats Lovely!!! I have been really good and put mine under the tree!

That is lovely Angel and shows how much you are appreciated after all.

I got a bag of goodies yesterday off one lo and they are under the tree, I'm being good and not even shaking or prodding them :D

Well done to your parents for showing they care :clapping:
