Parent phoned me earlier to say her LO has a terrible rash, they took her to the hospital yesterday and they said it was probably a virus or infection causing it but with no other symptoms it was probably nothing to worry about. She said did i still want her tomorrow or should she send her to her grandmother instead and i have her Friday when her grandmother usually would. Now, i was at a family BBQ, it was loud and i was busy, and i just agreed to swap days- because i dont want to risk my son catching anything. As soon as a hung up i realised id done the wrong thing- i dont want to swap days! We go on holiday next week and i need time to pack. Plus she only suggested it because she doesnt want to pay me for her usual 2 days if i only have her for one- she did this last week because she was ill herself. Understandable but not my problem unfortunately!
Thing is though, im not sure what to say now- i need to give her a reason for changing my mind and it needs to be something were she cant just say 'thats ok just take G with you'. Any suggestions?!
