I work PT usually but I'm home for the foreseeable because my place of work is closed due to covid.
I do my weekly shops on a Monday now when my eldest (3) is at nursery until 4.30
1.15pm I get a call from the nursery asking me to pick DS up, I'm in the middle of Sainsbury's at that point half way through my shop and miles away.
They wanted me to collect him ASAP as he was refusing to nap with the rest of the children (they all nap in the afternoon) and because he didn't want to sleep he was having a meltdown and disrupting the others.
I had to pay for what shopping I had in the trolley, half of what I needed, and walk the 2+ miles from the shops to nursery to pick him up early with my baby in tow who I was going to put down for a nap at home after the shop.
AIBU to think this was a bit shit and they could have just taken him out of the sleep room and done an activity with him / played a video with one of the several staff members on? So the other children could nap interrupted.
Was it really necessary to have me pick him up early?
I've also been asked to pick him up at 2pm again tomorrow, because they don't want the same thing happening again.
It's a good job I am off work at the moment as there's no way I could make a habit of this, I'd get the sack.
Thoughts?
