So DS had a TA last year who was amazing, properly properly amazing. He was a changed child.
So he is moving schools this year and I decided to keep her on as her PA because she has been so good for him, but I don't get direct payments for him but I worked out that we could JUST afford 2 hours a week at £10 an hour if we were really frugal.
Anyway usually she takes him out swimming and to mcdonalds, for 2 hours, I pay her for her time and give her extra money for the price of swimming and a happy meal.
But this week she wanted to take him out today instead of yesterday so she could have an extra day on her holiday, fine, until we realised that all the pools here are closed for bank holiday
So she offered to take him to the beach instead. The beach is an hour away, so I said no, we could only afford 2 hours so she could take him to the park near us if she wanted. She then said she doesn't care about the extra money and she would take her dogs as well as long as I didn't mind DS being late back and take them all to the beach killing 2 birds with one stone and just accept 2 hours pay even though it's clearly going to be longer than that, they've been gone 3 hours already.
I have managed to blitz the house and tidy all the toys out of the garden and now I'm sitting down having 5 minutes feeling terrible that she's going to be working for basically free for an hour or two. But I really really can't afford anymore.
I feel so bad.
DS hasn't slept for about a week either so I'm also ridiculously grateful for the chance to catch up with the housework.
