All my mindees are 2 or just under and after schoolies, we get up to lots of activities and outings etc. one of my two yr old left due to moving which meant I needed to fill a space to make up he £650 a mth loss, without even looking I was approached by a parent who wanted to start her 5 mth old a week after my 2 yr old left. 5 days a week but mornings only perfect I thought.
It's the baby's third week and there is such a massive difference, me and the other children are basically stuck in the house cause of the baby's routine. He sleeps on the school run until 9-9:30 then has a bottle at 9:45 this finished around 10:20 (really slow feeder) then I have to get the others snack and nappy changes by that time it's almost 11 which is when baby needs his porridge finish hat around 11:20 then he gets picked up at 12 or before meaning we can't go out anywhere.
The other children have lunch at 12 then it's home for one at one and the others sleep from 1-3 then it's school run, I don't know what to do I feel the others are not getting the attention from me as they used to as I always seem busy feeding the baby. The baby also hardly ever sleeps I can't get him down then he screams cause he's overtired.
I would really like to give notice but I kind of know the parent and she works at a place where I've got 80% of my work from so I don't want to be give. A bad name because I can't cope but it's really affecting my mood and the other children aren't getting as much activities or outings.
Anyone have any advice please!!!! :panic:
