    I DIDN'T say you don't wash 7 days a week, I (and another poster) put a link to the post where you said you don't wash Saturday and Sunday.

    Does NO-ONE read posts properly on this website, or do people just like to pick out the bits they choose, that makes it convenient for them to have a go?!

    And YOU are the one that highlighted that you don't wash on Saturday and Sunday when you bloomin' well posted to tell us all on that thread. :rotfl:

    All I did was repeat what you said matey!

    yes I did post that I don't wash on Saturday or Sunday - but please explain why you felt you needed to pull that post into this thread?

    The same reason the other poster pulled your posts in too.

    To show the inconsistency in your posts. And to prove the OP should not be taking anything you say seriously.

    I personally don't think you have a leg to stand on.
    The children should be with their mother not a child minder!
    Why are you not looking after your own children?


    does your work come first or your children??

    Please people do not feed the loser troll.

    Probably some bored 13 year old, best not to encourage.

    So.....back to topic.......

    I want what is best for my child. And I'm big enough to admit there are people out there, highly qualified in child development, teaching, first aid and have many many years of experience with child rearing.

    A child needs there parents and they should spend lots of time together but I don't believe that means 24/7 with me. That's why they will go to school, as they can teach them better than I can. Therefore, working part time so I have enough money to pay the bills and keep them warm and fed but still get to spend 4 days a week bonding and rearing my child is what I believe is best for my child. 2 days of them being cared for by someone highly qualified and 1 day of precious bonding time with their grandparents it best of all worlds in my opinion.

    I actually believe people who think they are the single and only person who can rear their child is narrow minded.

    I have experience with a wide variety of childcare having used nurseries, childminders and after school and holiday clubs. Regarding childminders, your kids should not be going into the bedrooms. There will be designated areaa of the house the children have to stick to, having been deemed to be safe etc. As for video games, the holiday and after school club we use has a Wii and a PS3 - and they have very strict policies over which games can be played, and that can change depending on the ages of the children attending that day. In General they wont allow a game rated higher than PEGI 7.

    I wouldn't necessarily withdraw your kids immediately if you have no other concerns but I'd certainly want assurances that this won't happen again and I'd keep my eyes open for alternatives. Are there any holiday clubs? Around here there is a choice of three, two run in the grounds of local primary schools and one in the sports centre of the secondary school.
