My mum looks after a little boy for her goddaughter. Was supposed to be two days a week but invariably it is at least three days. She doesn't charge for this and the parents don't even put a few pound coins in the change bag to pay for the toddler groups and swimming they expect my mum to take him.
Anyway the bit I'm annoyed about is my
Grandma (mum's mum) died last week and so my mum is helping my grandad with the funeral plans and all the other stuff that a death in the family entails on top of grieving for the loss of her mother. My dad rang the mum and said that my mum was not able to look after the little boy as she was understandably upset and busy.
I've found out today that they have asked to bring him back to my mum this week! My mum won't say no and they play on this.
Surely the done thing is to give my mum time to sort everything out and to grieve. The funeral isn't for another week.
The mum is due to leave for maternity leave in a months time, under the circumstances could she not have taken parental leave or started maternity leave early?
I want to say something but don't want to cause my mum anymore upset at this time.
