No thanks as usual

Spent alot of time making painted canvas and cards this week with my mindee's for Mothers day and no thanks what so ever.

Parent picked up mindee yesterday, gave painted canvas to her and nothing, said its for mothers day and she just gave it back to him and he left the house dragging it down the road.

Then dad picks up other mindee today, did painting with him today so still a bit wet, told him to get it home and hide it before mummy gets home as for mothers day and dad said, you think thats going in my car, he has a sports car and doesnt stop on about, told him to lay it in the boot, to which he didnt answer and again no thanks, not a thing.

I really dont know why I bother, the children love making things, just wished the parents showed more interest.

I know its so annoying

I wonder why parents can be like this though

I have a big box from when my children were little and all the pictures and cards that they made me are kept in it nice and safe - I used to love getting them and I often get the box out to have a look - and a cry !!!

We made a card for moms birthday the other week and it was all crushed at the bottom of the childs bag a week later yet she was told about it

Oh well at least the children enjoy it

Its such a shame isn't it, i can never understand parents like that.
I intend on keeping all my sons artwork! Hes only just turned one and already i have paintings on the fridge and in his bedroom, Daddy has a picture stuck inside his work van, plus his Grandparents have pictures in their houses too. I cant wait for him to bring artwork back from pre-school when hes older!

I think it's so sad for the kids when parents react like that to their efforts

Never mind, you know the children enjoyed doing them.

I have 2 sets of parents, one just laughs everytime she's given something ny her daughter the other is thrilled and says they've been giving out painitings and pictures to family and they have a wall at home where they put up all her work.

Like yesterday we did 3d pictures of trees with blossom, twisted up newspaper for the trunk painted brown, coloured tissue for the blossom, took them ages and they really enjoyed it, first mum laughs when told what it is, 2nd mum thinks it's great.

For Mothers day, they have painted little terracotta flower pots with tissue inside then a flower they've coloured in stuck to a straw...i'm sure we'll have the same reaction tonight.

I had a 10 year old afterschoolie who was supposed to do his mothers day stuff tonight, but he went home early unwell, so showed it to him and popped it in an envelope for him to do tomorrow for his mum. I told her he had some bits to do and she was really appreciative, I know I am lucky
