* Please do not arrive on my doorstep at exactly 5.30pm and expect me to want to listen to a blow by blow account of your day - I have my own problems and a life!
* Please note that our contract is for care of your child only, it does not cover posting your letters, doing your shopping or popping to the chemist to collect your prescription.
* Please remember to tell me if your little darling is not in school - preferably before I have stood in the playground in the pouring rain for 15 minutes waiting for them to come out!

On the subject of holidays.....
When I decide to take a holiday if I choose to take 1 week then the next Monday as an extra day it's because I want to.
You don't need to question me on why I'm taking said extra Monday.........it's none of your business!
I'll tell you lot though! I'll be flying back fromj Vegas arriving in the UK on the Sunday so I've taken the Monday off to do my washing and have a lazy day whilst my own children are at school. I can then collect my own children from school and take them out somewhere nice for tea because I won't have seen them for well over a week!

Sounds perfect. Imagine if we could write things like that, do you think parents would still behave the way they do????
Please do not 'forget' your cheque book/purse
Please do not let your child bang the letterbox 7.50 in the morning when your 10 minutes early and Im trying to ignore you.
Please do not make up excuses for non payment, you have already used the 'my dad just died' excuse 3 times.
Please remember non uniform day as I feel like the local monster taking your child to school in their uniform.
Please take your own blooming harvest festival tins to school!
This is fun....!
When I say "No shoes" I mean "No shoes".
No shoes in the house for children
No shoes in the house for parents
Parents, this does NOT mean you can tip toe in a strange manner across my cream rug in your shoes as if doing this strange walk stops any muck from outside going on the rug.

Please do not wait for my bum to hit the toilet seat before you ring the door bell....
Please don't tell me you can't pay me til the end of the week because you spent my fees in the pub at the weekend.
Please don't tell me you can't afford my fees when I know CTC are paying 80% of them!
Please don't bring your child in wellies in the middle of the summer because you can't get her to take them off and then forget an alternative set of footwear.

Please dont send you child in pj's because she wont get changed into proper clothes.
Please remember that you are the adult in the relationship and your 2 yo shouldnt tell you what to do.
Please remember if I have rang you to say that I am ill I cant just have your child.
When someone tells you nothing is impossible, tell them to go slam a revolving door
i am sitting here crying with laughter! i can't wait to write my next newsletter
i can't think of anything to add ... all been covered!
I think should be a long tem post and just keep running and running
One life live it
Thats the first time i have cried with laughing for ages!!! Keep it going!
When i stop laughing long enough i'll add my own.
Overnight inspiration...
Please do not tell your child to come in and tell me you are skint and can't afford to pay me. I appreciate a conversation with you.
Please do not discuss my fees at home when older children are listening. I find it offensive when they tell me they cannot have a new game boy / go on holiday / visit the cinema because I am bleeding you dry
Please do not dose your child up with pain killers and then turn your phone off for the day while you are out shopping with your mum
Please leave your child's bag when you go, rather than taking it to work with you. My need for it is greater than yours.
Please take the time to look at your child's works of art rather than saying 'oh well more for the recycling then' or leaving them crumpled in the bottom of the bag.
Please do not swear when looking at your bill on my doorstep. Your child is listening.
If you can possibly bring yourself to look at me long enough to notice - sometimes I have my hair cut. It would be very nice of you to comment.
please dont leave your medication , nail scissors , and perfume in los changing bag in my hall for other inquisitive fingers to find!
please write something , anything at all , on the daily diary / learning journey / parent questionnaire form / etc.
please dont sound so shocked when you come in and the place is tidy!
learn to say no to your child! no you cant just play with one more thing! no i cant come up and wipe your bum! ( he is almost 6!) recognise that these are delaying tactics and that your childminder wants her house back! now , not half an hour after pick up time!
