I'm not really sure where this thread would go but here goes......
I mind a young boy and have been doing so since August - one of the questions his parent's asked me at our initial meeting was would I be taking on any more children. I had just started out minding and was happy with the number children I had so said no. Anyway, since then I've been asked to take on a young baby and did!
I have just found out that the boy's Mum is pregnant - she is nearly 30 weeks and I only found out as he told me (I'm not sure when the Mum was going to tell me, she managed to hide her bump under a big winter coat so I never had any idea she was expecting)! I feel terribly guitly as I won't be able to mind the new arrival - perhaps they asked me if I was going to take any more children on because they were planning a new addition and wanted to make sure I had the space (although nothing about this has ever been mentioned).
The little boy is so happy here, I love him to pieces and know that the parent's are happy with him being with me too! Due to the nature of her job I'm 100% the Mum will be returning to work and if they do ask me to mind the baby I'm going to feel so awful saying no!
