Can anyone give me some advice as to what they would do/think of this situation.
I have two siblings who started at the beginning March 2009 . They both came for settling in with and without their Mum. Settled well for the first month. The youngest is 20 mths and the oldest is nearly 4 yrs. The youngest has constantly cried now since beg. April and because they only come on a Mon and Tues I feel it is a very long time til their next day with me so I have spoken to Mum who can't change days or anything else to make it a shorter week before they come to me next. To top it off the littleone is much better when the older one is at nursery. Both are quite difficult children according to Mum.
This is affecting my 11 yr old during homework times and affecting my other child I look after. Also, the older sibling begs me to stop the crying. Mum says he is like it all the time.
What do I do. We are trying to work together on this but I do not know how much longer I can go on like this?
Is it time to call it a day or do I persevere longer?
