I did find it hard at first when I was seeing behaviour or was been spoken to (by 3-5year olds) in a way that I would never allow my girls and having to let it go. I mean we do still pull them up but there is only so much you can do.

Can you find somewhere that will let you do a weeks work experience? You may need to source your own insurance though.

Yeah I think that will take a bit of getting used to for me too. I actually haven't had any experience with bad mannered children.. I mean sure I've been roared at like a dinosaur a lot and ignored a lot but nothing too challenging!

I had wanted to do some volunteer work but just read this morning that a Blue Card will take about a month to arrange so I'm a bit frustrated because I want to make a decision in the next 2 weeks.
