    Default New parent coming for visit in half hr and Ive had a bad day



    You know when you've had one of those days?? Got absolutely soaked on the school run, pushing big heavy double buggy, and 3 little ones walking to school. Didn't have my waterproof coat on (in the wash) obviously cant hold umbrella so you can imagine the results The day went on as it had begun!

    On top of that I'm 17 weeks pregnant so makes things twice as hard as the moment.

    Well I'm rambling on, anyway parent coming for visit in half hr and I'm really not feeling too good, tired and fed up, ah well, the joys of the job!

    Wish me luck and send me some energy xx

    this happened to me yesterday, new parents coming at 6.30pm and my 2 yr old having the mother of all meltdowns, i ended up in the garden crying on the phone to my mum.

    it went ok i think though - im 10 weeks pregnant so it doesnt help lol.

    That's just typical. I seem to be getting more and more no shows or no contact at the moment. Whatever happened to good manners and an apology??
