I am a registered childminder and look after a lovely little girl. I work Mon/Weds/Fri and asked for this Weds off as I had my 12 week scan. I explained to parents reason and they were excited and I took the day out of my annual leave. The scan showed that my baby had died at 8 weeks, obviously i am feeling really upset and empty about this and am struggling to talk about it without breaking down in tears. I text the parents to inform them the news from the scan as I thought they had a right to know. Maybe I'm expecting too much from them, I didn't get a reply, not even a short I'm sorry. I really could have done with having today off work as I am a wreck, I am bursting into tears all the time. I was hoping that they might suggest I take today, I don't expect to be paid, I just needed a bit of time. AIBU, I feel totally let down by them, I have loved and cared for their daughter (I know I am paid for this but I really do love their little girl, I don't just "look after her") I just feel like they don't care about me or my wellbeing at all.
