Random Irritations

Liverpoolphil said:
Tuesday morning I was dropping the little one off to Nursery and another mother ( who is a snob ) was dropping off her son , she was rushing around which is normal and pretty ran away as soon as her son walked in the room , he was very quiet so when the key worker went to take his coat off they said he clearly felt warm , took his temp and he had a fever 🤒- so they tried to phone his mum to get permission to give him calpol but couldn’t get hold of her for an hour even though she had just left.

Finally when they got hold of her she said that he had already been given calpol a few hours before , so clearly she knew the little lad wasn’t feeling too well but still took him into nursery - so it’s no surprise that this morning my little one wasn’t feeling too great with a high temp 😢 so she stayed at home because we don’t want to pass on any illness to other kids. It seems this lady has done it before dropping the kid off when she knows he isn’t feeling too well 😡 - she quite clearly doesn’t care about other kids in the nursery and even dumping her own ill child off to nursery isn’t great parenting

Random irritation - selfish parents who don’t realise that kids pass illnesses around quickly - if you child isn’t well leave them at home , that’s what we do even though we know we still pay for the day

Phil, I hope nursery haven't told you she's done this before. It happens at school as well. Joys of parenting I'm afraid.

Indeed. Fortunately I've been drawn against a guy who is usually around at weekends and pretty flexible so not seeing any problems for the first round. As I never get to round two it's academic but I don't recognise either name of potential opponents and assuming they are newish members. That one may be more problematic
 
The BBC "news" story about a fashion reporter who has complained about another paper ridiculing women who go to Aintree and get so smashed they can't stand upright...

Behave like that in a public place and prepare to be ridiculed if you ask me!

Snobs don't sent their children to "nursery", they go to Montessori Pre School :)

There is a school of thought that says spreading these bugs around when younger helps to build thier bodies immune systems for later life, but children are always the biggest conduit for illnesses. Invest in a bottle of alcohol hand gel.

Unfortunately I could only 'Like' this post once and not multiple times.
The fashion reporter certainly came across as a bit of a fool ........................... I went with 'fool' to avoid an infraction!

My kids are way past this point but I am with LP on this one. This sounds like a parent who wants to pass on their problem, a poorly child, for the teachers and school to look after. Bundle them up, shove them in, run off, la la la, fingers in my ears, not my problem. It is selfishness.

Simply by going to school and mixing with kids other kids will pick up bugs and build up immunity. They don't need it handing on a plate like this.

On the face of it, I don't really disagree.....however we don't know the full story, in that she may be a single mum now having to work just to pay her bills. Just because she may be somewhat "snobbish" doesn't mean there may be a more serious reason why she has dropped the child off at nursery when the child is unwell.
I probably should put a few more winky emojii's on my first reply to LP:)

Spot on 👍 just selfish parenting to me and someone unwilling to look after their own ill child

She doesn’t work , she drives a big Range Rover , lives in a million pound house 10 mins from the nursery due to her hubby owning a very very successful property business in the area ( deal in million pound houses )

There should be no reason to allow an ill child to be dropped off at nursery - we never do it and at times it means we have to put work holiday , Miss work etc

Eventually managed to get both club matches arranged. One singles, one foursomes and then there's also the Daily Mail comp again. The DM has been painless to arrange so far. Won one and playing second round over Easter weekend.

I wish I'd been allowed a day of school every time I felt a little under the weather, I'd of hardly ever been there!!
