but not sure if i want to take it :panic:
one of my oldest friends has asked me to her her lil boy who is 1, one day a week to get him used to being away from her as he's SO clingy to her and she is looking for a job so would go to full timer once she has job.
do i take it on knowing i'll end up with a screamer? or say no?
HELP

If you need the work then do it! If he will end up full time then that's brilliant. :)
If not, pass him my way! LOL
she doesn't drive cher or i would have :laughing:
maybe he'd settle eventually??

If she isn't yet working and is asking you to have him that 1 day a week, then he should be settled with you by the time she get's a job. Try it for a few weeks.

I would be more thinking if the friendship will hold up rather than a screamer, because he probably will settle. What would happen if she was late paying or had a dispute, could you keep the business and personal side seperate.
yeah she's already said she'll pay in advance etc
she just wants him to go to someone she knows

I'd go for it then, for a 4 week trial at least, I think it would help the child settle because he/she already knows you and your kids.
