Kind of know what the answer to this is but just after some opinions.
Background is lo just left due to Dad losing his job, lo has been with me for a couple of years. I am optimistic that lo will return but obviously no guarantees on either side.
Lo was my main earner, can survive about a month but dodgy after that as only one income in the house. If I was to take on someone else and then original lo wanted to return, I would be on 4 under 5 sometimes during the week.
I'm guessing original lo would be classed as new business as they technically left. Just seems a shame lo has been with me so long and obviously would be a big change to both lo and his parents to go elsewhere. I would like to wait for him to return but financially I'm not sure I can.
I did wonder whether suggesting lo still comes say one morning so that he is still here and then increase hours under continuity of care if Dad gets a job? That way I could take on someone else now to help financially as there is no guarantee original lo will return to original hours.
What do people think?
