I've been so distracted at work today. Jacob hit bottom at the childminder's yesterday. She was at her wits end when I came to pick him up. He'd been naughty all day, banging the toys and not listening to anything that she said. She put him in the naughty corner for a time-out where he'd sat and peeled of her wall-paper. The brand new flowery wall-paper that she put up a couple of weeks ago. She was furious. His settling-in test period was already extended two weeks.

I just stood there, young, unexperienced and utterly incapable of handeling the situatuion. She says he's not listening, throwing food on the floor, being naughty and has got "behaviour problems". I keep thinking she must have confused my son with another child. Sweet, amazing, wonderful Jacob that charmes everone, turned into a little rascal? We went to a playgroup this morning together and he's playing so nicely, sharing his toys. My "mammasvamvetes kurva" is off the scales...

She said she'll give it another two weeks. With her being a lot stricter than us we're trying to inforce the same rules at home so not to confuse Jacob. But I better start looking at nurseries tonight. Perhaps a childminder wasn't the best option for him.

Kram till er.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
