    Exclamation Update on yesterday, need your help again

    Following on from my post,

    Was just about to tell friend about what I said in my post yesterday

    Then the boys got into a fight, resulting in my son bleeding

    I am really not happy

    Please can you tell me if I am wrong to say to my friend that I can't take this boy and she must find someone else?

    I will say this in a nice way but I can't have this happening under my roof

    It upsets us all.

    My husband's gone mad

    Going to call her tonight

    I really don't want to upset her

    Hi just remember that your son comes first, just be honest with your friend and tell her firmly but gently.

    Good luck and let us know how you get on

    oh don't feel upset, her son sounds really difficult to look after and it's not fair on your son, i'm sure your friend will understand and if she doesn't then she's the one in the wrong, stay strong and positive vibes are being sent your way

    I hope your son is ok ?

    If you are finding it hard to speak to her directly why not put everything in a letter explaining why you are terminating the contract, I sometimes find that easier andI know I have said everything i want to then too xxx

    Hope your son is ok

    I understand you feeling bad about this because she is your friend but you MUST put yourself and your family first

    Do you want your son hurt again?

    Maybe if you tell her what has happened and explain she will be ok about it
    She is your friend and will not want to fall out with you either

    Sometimes you just have to do things and now is one of those times

    For YOU and YOUR FAMILY !!

    How is your son now?

    The best thing you can do is not look after this boy. Your family are now all involved & it will cause problems as your son may become afraid of him & it could cause fall outs with your husband..............neither of which are fair on you.

    If this lady really is a friend then she should not fall out with you, I'm sure that she knows just what her son is like.

    If it were a childminder & not a friend, then I'm sure they would have said something already.

    Good luck

    You must put your family first... she wil either understand or make a fuss.

    Whatever she does, it doesn't really matter as you are doing the right thing for your family xxhugsxx

    Thanks everyone, I've had a think and yes you are right. My husband says we are bringing a bully into our house. It's not fair on my son.

    Meeting her in morning so will say what I need to then.

    Thanks again for all your support you have been so kind to me and I am so grateful.


    Hugs to you all xxx

    i hope all is going well for you this morning
    i've just read the other post and think you are right to call this whole thing off
    neither of you sound happy the kids are going to hate each other and you sound like you're a nervous wreck due to this child.
    if your son is happy at nursery why jeopardise it all, go and do the other job you can't do because of this friend and put it down to a bad decision.

    good luck telling her but i think you have to be firm on this one

    I did it don't want to say too much just in case but yes everything was OK, things happened between the two boys again this morning. Prime example that it's not working.

    I do feel awful tho and very tired after a night spent worrying

    !!

    Thanks again
