Its really hard to explain and im not sure if its in my head but you know when you get a feeling that something isnt right.
I have had 3 mindee's today plus my own two which are the hardest to keep happy so its been a bit stressful but not too bad.
3 year old mindee wants to join in and play with my daughters which they dont always want her to (I cant make them)and she cant always keep up with their role play games they play as they are 6 and 8. Shes done this before and then gone home and told her mum that my daughter wouldnt play with her and then Im asked why, told her its not always possible, my children are older and play different games and im not going to force them to play with her all the time.
Today she kept screaming and shouting and I had to keep telling her that baby was in bed and not to scream, she gave me the most awful look but I was also telling my two and other mindee to be quiet.
Just before mum turns up she wasnt getting her own way so was smashing a toy car on the floor so I asked her not to, thats not the way to behave when she didnt get what she wanted, just them mum turns up to collect them and she goes straight to mum giving me again deadly looks. Told mum the basic story and she left saying ok but in a quiet tone, as soon as she got outside with her I heard my mindee started screaming and crying putting her in the car.
I know mum is not happy with disciplining her children because when they first came to me they had never been told no. All of them get put on time out when they mis-behave. Shes not treated any different to any of my other mindee's.
I know feel like Ive done something wrong and dread to think what tales shes telling her when she got home. Mindee probably hates me and I dont like the thought of that.
Wasnt looking for advice just wanted to get it out
