Frustrating

[Rasharoon]

Hi
Thought I would vent my frustration here - if that's OK.
I was expecting a parent this morning - just to come and meet me for a chat re minding her 18 month old daughter 2 mornings per week.
I made sure I had all appropriate toys out, printed off all information she would need to take away and she didn't have the decency to show or even ring.
Thing is, she has an elder daughter in my Son's class so it's not that I won't see her as I'll see her at school. I don't actually know her, I just see her around.
Should I say something?

I'd wait to see if she speaks first and then if not approach her, there may be a genuine reason she didnt come! if she doesnt say anything I'd just say politely' I rearranged my morning today for you to come over was there a reason why you didnt turn up ?'

Sorry she didnt turn up x

Annoying but it happens I'm afraid

Did you see her at school this morning? if not could be that someone isn't well.

I'd do as Susan says - if she doesn't ring or talk to you then I'd ask her

How annoying not nice but maybe she did forget ?

yes I would wait and if she does not come over to you then you go and say something

Good luck let us know what happens

Just to update on yesterday.

I received a call early afternoon - she forgot. Was ever so apologetic but then also stated that her hours had changed and after working out the costs, it wouldn't be worth her while but if anything changed, she would let me know.

Not a problem as just had an enquiry this morning from a Mum re after school care for her 8 year old. Had a good chat so hopefully she will come round next week sometime. That means I'll have 8 4-9 years old running riot if all goes ahead - am I mad??

Glad she contacted you in the end

Good luck with the new parent and child

Keep us posted
