I am feeling low at the moment girlys, where do I start.
Well I put a post up a few weeks ago about the baby I was minding for who was 8 months, and wasn’t weaned and breastfed, but mum wanted me to formula feed etc, well he lasted 3 weeks, and then mum decided Grandma was having him (mum is my step sister) so it makes me wonder if she just wanted to claim the tax credits. So he has gone now, wasn’t too upset as he just cried all day and I only had him 2 days a week.
O was 1 year old in February, mum had gone back to work 9:45 till 2:45 so part time and Monday – Thursday, she found it hard, and had messed about with a nursery and didn’t pay them as she wasn’t very happy with them, mum is a friend and I stand with her on the playground. Bearing in mind she is contracted 9:45 she comes to mine straight from School so about 9:00 am I don’t charge her by the way. Anyway this morning she decides she cant hold down and Admin job and 2 kids, she is married and they both work. She has only been there for about 6 weeks, and before that she was a cleaner and was doing that for 4 weeks, I should have realised shouldn’t I. So she asks how much notice she has to give me, she is doing me a letter today. So now I down to 1 part timer Tuesday – Friday for 4 hours a day.
I had brought a car as I needed it for the School run when I was doing 2 different Schools, but when I took on these extra babies I gave notice to the parent as it wasn’t working out for me getting there on time, she was a genuine person and I am kicking myself now for letting him go.
Thank you for reading and sorry it was so long.
