:ohdear: I gave notice to the mum of the two girls I look after for two days a week. The elder girl is a horror and my son is clashing with her so causing me much grief! Anyway, mum cried so now I feel really crap. I almost cried myself. She said how happy they are with me but completely understood my reasons as she has the same problems with her eldest at home. I did give her a couple of alternatives and am hoping we might be able to come to an arrangement whereby I have the elder girl for a much shorter period but she needs to talk to her husband. Whatever happens, she will have to find alternative care for the oldest girl on one of the days. I might lose them altogether but I've been waking up dreading the day ahead and I just couldn't carry on like that. Nobody said it would be this hard! I'm just not tough enough.
