just wondering how many of us this has happened to. few weeks ago i was in the local tesco and had a strange lady( might i add very harrassed with her lone child) ask me if i was a childminder and if i had any places comming up? .. whats worse i didnt have all the kids with me just five- 3 were at their birth mums that day!kinda got me thinking , as i've always had the usual comments ( are they all yours,must be hard work,ect) but this is the first time ive had that.... did make me , i must looked professional and in control...second thought ,mabey not , hope i dont look like "supernanny"-aaaarrrrgh ! .

I've been asked this a few times.

I saw a woman pushing a double pram, a toddler holding onto it walking another child to schoool. I thought she was a childminder and that's only 4 kids . (I didn't appproach her though)

Forgive me for my 2.4 nuclear family thinking!

potplant.... by the power invested in me by the "larger families group" you are forgiven..... but only if your TTC!
