    Hi

    Thanks for the replues. I spoke to mum at 10.30 last night as only time she was free.

    Anyway, yes she is off to priveta nursery mondays and thurs. Me tues and wed. Mum also asked if she could have a space with me fri from sept as she doesnt want to work weekends anymore!!!

    I said about the tiredness etc, but mum brushes it off. Not very concerned over it, and told me to distract with tv!!! I dont have the tv on during working hours.

    With tegard to fris, i said i will need to think bout it. Due to tiredness.

    From Sept though she will b in full time care, between me and nursery. I really dont think she will cope at all, especially by the time friday comes.

    Really need to tjink bout this. I feel fir the child and dont want her to have another upheaval, esp as they r miving again in nov, but not closer!!

    Not sure. Business head says notice, heart no!

    OMG it sounds like the poor kid is going to struggle like a bag of cats and bring along the same destruction, better you than me , it's making me nervous just thinking about all the changes, and stress that will be going on that household and all that on top of what seems to already be an almost impossible situation for you. Good luck You'll need it.

    mmm don't think I would have a space for Fridays, it can be a difficult day as it is with children who normal struggle at the end of the week, without adding another who does cope very well at all

    sorry but i think you need to listen to your head. If parent isnt even listening to you about the poor child being so tired then you are banging your head against a brick wall. IMO there is nothing worse than a tired child. Personally I think parents are being quite unkind to the child as well. Children need sleep as much as they need food and drink.

    Hi.

    Yeah i have been thinking about this alk day and am not offerring a Friday, really feel for child. But cant deal with even more tiredness on a Friday.

    I am going to c how sept goes with the mix of nursery and then if not working, will give notice with oct invoice. Feel better that i have plan, will explain to mum too.

    Today i have had a very rare day off and have spent the whole day with my lo.im loving it.so really feel that if she goes, o well and i wont replace her, so not worried.just will feel bad fir her with another change. Fingers crossed sept will b ok, only another 6 times to c her before then!

    Lets hope i can stick to the plan.
