Hello,
I'm after some advice, I recently lost one of my full timers as they have relocated, and have since took on a lil boy who's 10 months.
I'm also just about to go through fertility treatment, unfortunately when I took the lil one on, nothing was happening so thought all would be fine.
However, he came for his settling in session last week and it was maniac! With him was a 1yr old, and a 3yr old. It took a couple of months to get the 1 yr old settled and it was like we'd gone back to day one! It was so stressful and felt like I was spreading myself too thin and in two!
He came again today and it was exactly the same, only he's started this week for 3 days. I mentioned to mum that he doesn't like being left in a room, playpen, high chair, car seat etc, he's only happy when he's in your arms. She said "oh that's my fault".
I'm not sure what to do for the best, I feel like I shouldn't give up this easily, but I feel drained as it is with the fertility issue, and its took me and my hubby two years to get this far and we could be starting treatment any month now so I should be excited but all I can think about is work. Whether or not I did the right thing about taking the new one on, what I'm going to do while I'm going through treatment as they can send for you as and when and there will be little notice! My hubby, bless him, keeps telling me to cut my hours or number of children as I do feel like everything is on top of me at the moment (he's seen the state i get myself into) and its the last thing I need when undergoing fertility treatment.
I hate letting people down and I'm really unsure what to do for the best, I don't know if any of you have been in this situation or similar but any help or adivce would be gratefully received.
Sorry for rambling on! :(
