    completley off topic but dave grohl, marilyn manson ooooh (add anthony from chilli peppers) i would def pay you to look after my kids:rotfl:
    seriously i think op has done the right thing in contacting relevent bodies. even though your child is now out of cm care how would you feel if you didnt report her and something happened to other kids in her care?
    Lead us not into temptation...

    just tell us where it is and we'll find it....

    Thanks guys. Oh there's a long standing issue between my husband and I - he is very moody:(. But I wuld have liked a bit of support in this as it is his son after all. He has left it all to me to sort out, and now that I have - it's wrong:rolleyes:

    Anyway, back to the doctor...:drool:

    Try not to worry now - it's done - out of your hands.

    You did the right thing-what if you had seen care that you didn't like and bashed the CM!! You would have had a right to be worried then lol

    I've got 3 brothers, a husband, 3 sons - I feel like an alien sometimes - I'm sure I don't speak the same language. I have always found that if I have a moan to a male they think they have got to do something about it whereas a woman knows that it's only listening that is needed.

    Just pour out your woes on here - there are loads of ears available - and most understand alien lol

    Ask your husband how he would feel if next week he finds out that one of the other children in her care has exited her car through the windscreen and is in hospital or worse.

    If my CM was not looking after my children propertly and another parent knew, I pray they would have the guts and courage to tell me.

    Off the original topic, but never mind...Try getting him to take some vitamin D tablets- yes, I know I sound a bit 'Ted H', but it really really helped my hubby's moodiness- he'd go off in a huff for no reason, eventually after a few bewildering times I worked out it was nothing personal, then we got vitamin D for him last year and what a difference- he works shifts all year long in a factory where we can't see daylight- it's really disruptive to your hormones (yes men have them too;) )

    We both take them now (I work in the same factory but on Dayshift) me for my SAD, and have noticed a great difference.

    ps I'd pay a CM to look after my DD if I was offered Anthony Kedis for an afternoon;) Dave Grohl too, lovely smile,:D but not Marilyn- he's too freaky for me!! Flea would make me even more pleased- have you seen him do his Yoga warm ups before they perform:drool:

    I'll have to look into that ailuro - thanks:) Don't know if he'd actually take it though. The funny thing is, he's been fine for abut 2 weeks, (after I was ready to leave becauseof his moodiness and constant shouting at the kids) I thought maybe he's got the message. But he's just turned back into this awful person again, with a face like a slapped !!!!! and not a good word to say to anyone (at home at least - with other people he's all happy and joky:mad:)

    I went to see marilyn Manson once - OMG:eek: he was so weird. I liked his music, but the guy is so freaky. Like Chilis music-wise, but not *that way*

    For me it's got to be The dr, or Nigel Harman (was Dennis on Eastenders)
  • Ofsted will take this seriously. And, by law, the childminder must keep a copy of any complaint made against her- either verbal or written- and the outcome.
    Please tell her your concerns. A good childminder would never take a child in a car who isn't strapped in safely. Childrens safety should be paramount.
    Good luck finding childcare...

    I've seen Marilyn Manson twice - and Foo Fighters once. If you listen to MM lyrics some of them are very thought provoking. It amazes me how USA don't allow the word S4it but show violence at 2pm in the afternoon that would give an adult nightmares.

    Yes, I get that where husband is all chatty outdoors and indoors he's a grumpy git. I see him all smiling with other people and see the bloke I first went out with - I suppose it's the grind of daily life that makes us like that.

    You can keep the RHCP - 1st it's Grohl, then MM, then wait for it - Terry Crews from Everybody hates Chris (the dad) - what a mix!!!
