I have been minding a little fella three days a week since mid august .. At initi meeting mum said she needed full time care then at one of the settling in sessions said she had more holidays than she thought so it would be threw days a week until the new year was that ok? She is a fab parent never a moment of bother extremely relaxed for a first time mum And has told me several times she is really happy with the care he is getting. I said to her it is what it is and i appreciated that she must be pleased to be havig extra time with little guy and to let me know when she needed full time.
Since then she has said different things about going to college one day a week, using parental leave to get four days a week etc but recently has said that she had calculated wrong and would be back full
Time before christmas. Through all this I have been expecting to have him five days aWeek very soon (money wise)
Tonight she text me and said 23rd nov she needs to go back full time but her mum has offered to have him Mondays and tuesdays .. She wouldn't expect her to do this every week so how would I feel about every second week (sl five days one week and three the next) I am a bit annoyed to be honest as feel she would probably have known at first interview that it wasnt going to be full time at least at first and I have been understanding about it despite being out of pocket and not charged her a retainer. Maybe she just didn't think it through. I couldn't fill that space (mon and tues every second
Week) and all we are talking about is 160 euros a month .. I do appreciate that she is trying to save a few quid but hubby is moving to a new job with less wages so mine are more important ! She is lovely tho and baba is fab very easy to mind so don't want to upset her either .. What to do (btw could prob fill space tho don't want to replace him lots of work here at mo)
