Yesterday when we got in from the park after school there was a message on my phone from a man who wanted full time care for his two boys.
I thought - fantastic! Thats just what I need..one of my dads has been made redundant and one of the mums is on maternity leave - this could solve all my problems!
He came round last night. Boys seemed relaxed and friendly (although the older of the two was a little agressive) but okay - thats something you can work on. He said to me that he would like his wife to meet me and would that be okay. Of course I said fine, she just needs to ring me and make an appointment to see me. I asked when he needed the childcare to start and he said he needed to check with his work.
I dont know why, but after he left I just felt like something wasnt quite right. Something didnt seem right at all. Dont know what it was.
Then this morning there was a rapping on my door. Open it and theres this lady with the two boys. She said "can I come in" and I told her that I was just going out. She said it wouldnt take long and barged in!! Then she said "so can I leave the boys here then?"!!!! I couldnt belive it! I said I cant take the boys now, Im just going out, I would be over my legal numbers and it is illegal for me to take children on without completing some paperwork anyway. She got all huffy and said that she had tried to come last night. Well yeah, I heard someone knocking at 8:30pm when I was in my PJ's!! Im not answering the door at 8:30pm in my PJ's. Plus I had said to PHONE BEFORE COMING!! (AARRGGH!). She was then all like "but Ive got to get to work for x o clock" etc. I said that I would not be able to take the boys today. (And Im thinking in my head - or ever!!).
I eventually managed to get her out of the door in the end being quite rude/blunt.
What is the matter with some people eh??? And why do I always get the weirdos!??!
Shame - it could have been good having two full timers!
Sx
