Need some quick advice

[childmind04]

One family i mind for changed their hours last month, so i now have friday off from their children.

Last night i asked Dad if they wanted me as their dd had sort of said something he said he would let me know, anyway got 2 calls last night form my other parents and they dont want me (we are all on holiday this weekend), this morning dad caught me off guard and just said i will be dropping them off in the morning :eek: i was with 5 mindees and on way into school so did not get chance to say anything, my dh has went mad and said i have already done extra for them this week and i should have said no

Is it too late when they collect to say i cant do it?? i have so much to do packing etc and could really do with the day off but i hate being made to feel like i am letting them down??

Help

If you dont want to do it just say sorry but you have made plans as you thought your numbers were reduced.:)

or possibly tell a little fib:blush: :blush:

Say after speaking to your husband, he has arranged that you will now be stopping somewhere en route but it was going to be a suprise & now you can't do it??

Errrr - no catch the parent off guard and tell them no you cannot do it - end of.
Explain that you was really busy this morning and it was unfair of dad to say that - they have already booked the fridays off and you have arranged something else now that you cannot change. You have to put your family first.

Just updating this, mum came last night and i just explained how i had been caught off guard this morning but the more i had thought about it i have too many things to do and i was sorry but i could not work, she was a bit quiet but i am past the point of caring :rolleyes:

It really spoiled my day yesterday as it was just playing on my mind, but done now and i feel happier :)
