Hey all
I had my childminders briefing yesterday and absolutely loved it!!!
I am looking forward to next stage in August.
I had a BBQ with some family last night and they began asking me about how today had gone.
I started talking about the briefing- costs of setting up, recommendations for advertising, some activity ideas, planning, learning journals, public liability, ofsted etc and I said to my mother in law "Actually at the briefing there was someone there you know from years ago..."
I said who and her reply was "how odd!! why don't they get a proper job and go and earn proper money".
She then commented "and just like JD (her sister who is a business woman) most people in business claim back this and that through tax it's awful and not morally right. Claiming wear and tear on a carpet, pffft." she continued and my blood was pretty much at boiling point but I didn't show this as I didn't want her to see she had got to me as much as she had and put others into a very awkward situation.
My reply was polite (suprizingly) but after I had said what I needed to say I walked off and went into my house.
It's caused a big upset to be honest as I was so full and all this and to have someone close to home pass such comments is what I feel disgusting and ignorant so the BBQ pretty much ended there!
If she feels its not a proper job and proper money for them she obviously feels ye same for me!!
I was livid!!
I really don't know what's the matter with people these days! Seems like everyone has a problem seeing others get on in life and succeeded in doing something that want/love to do!!
Appears like she is very jealous!!
We work with children because we are caring, kind, patient and passionate about being a part of their story, making things exciting for them and watching them develop which we all find rewarding more than we could ever express!
It's not easy but we wouldn't expect/want it to be. Raising children of the future is a privilege & a great responsibility that brings joy and happiness to us all.
How dare she or anyone be so blatantly rude!!!
