ive been contemplating whether or not to keep the 11 month old, who ive had for 5 months as he continually winges to be held, (hes happy when held) but as soon as i put him down even in highchair to feed he doesnt stop winging, sounds a bit like a cry but without the tears. Hes not in pain i think hes got himself into a bad habit of winging and cant stop.
Anyway i spoke to his mum, she siad he hasnt stopped winging since an hour after he was born!! now im thinking this could just be in his nature,as nothing stops him.
So i put myself on the vacancy list today in the hope to get someone new after xmas then i can give 1 months notice. I dont think its fair on me or my family, i already have a 2 year old thats acting up and im sure its because of this, then i have a 3.5 year old who is wetting himself more. One of my other mindees crys too because the 11 month old winges (luckily i only have him for 2 mornings a week)
Today the mum gave me £50 voucher for my kids for xmas and she doesnt even celebrate it as she is muslim, shes also moved to be near me and she makes me dinners to try. So i think she is trying to make things up to me for her sons behaviour, and now i feel bad that im thinking about getting rid of him. Do you think im doing the right thing?
I even phoned my HV to ask about this and to see if they would do a home visit to try see if they had enough experience to come up with a magic plan. but the mum has to phone and arrange it, but they said at 11months he shouldne be doing that now!
