Gosh I really am in a pickle:(
It's bad enough when the month of September is approaching and you know that one of you full timers is about to become a part timer and your income is going to drop slightly!!! That I can deal with BUT two of mine are going to become part timers. Thats not all, to top it all another parent has told me today that she wants to put the 2 1/2 year old into private nursery near where she lives, I have no car and no way of getting there to collect her as it is too far, so she is going to be leaving me too and will be with her elder sisters childminder nearer to the home. I asked why she was putting her in nursery a year early to be told, "she is so intelligent, she needs to progress it". So what the heck does she think, that I sit baby in the corner and ignore her all day??? She mixes with all the other children and we go to the childrens centre... Grrrrrrrrrr. I wouldn't mind she has known about this for over a week and only just told me, I had a phone call yesterday and had to pass the details onto another childminder friend in the area as I couldn't do it, now I find out that I could have taken on the new child but as it happens the lady has now already found someone.
Working out finances for september and my income will be really down, by the time I pay all the bills etc I am left with £13 per week and thats without the food shopping!!
I really do not know what I am gonna do, I feel so stressed already and its effecting my stomach.. have not eaten all day, my appetite has gone!:( I just wish the phone would ring with a perspective parent but its not happening.
Sorry for the long rant... just need to let it all out!
