Finally had a phone call this pm from a lady who wants after school x 3 for a 4 yr old and all day x 3 for her 7 month old. :jump for joy:
Now, I desperatley need the work and I didn't turn it down - BUT - with no traffic the pick up will take 5 min, but as we all know throw in the after school traffic and it will probably be 15 min. So I have to pick up ds at 2.55-3, then get to the other school for 3.10, with no room at all for kids being let out late etc.
Ds knows what I do for a living and why - he's 7 in 5 weeks time - and I'm thinking if I do get anywhere with this family then I'd ask Pil's to collect ds 3 days a week and bring him back here until I get back from the school run.
I feel so guilty for even comtemplating getting someone else to collect ds for those 3 days, but as you all know ( and have been in/or are in the same boat with work!!) those 3 days work would make sooo much difference to us -i.e. we wouldn't have to cancel Xmas!!!
And we all know it could be months before I get another call.......
Thoughts?? Opinions??
