Am I being unreasonable?? She offered to watch dd on a Thursday (ds is in preschool nursery) and dd & ds on a Friday, when I was deciding to come back to work after Mat Leave. This means ds in only in 2 days ( gets a discount coz he's 3.5) and dd is only in 1 day. That was paramount in deciding what hours I had to work. I now work a 4 day week.
My Mum has fallen out with her coleagues (petty argument about a night out) and has had an interview for a job. She didn't even mention that if she took it she wouldn't be able towatch the kids!!! I aksed her yesterday and she said that if she got the job then she would be fulltime.
She didn't even think about the fact that not only can I not afford to put the kids in an extra 2 days (extra £300 a month), but dd is already on a loooooooong waiting list for more days coz the babyroom only takes 5, so I probably will have to give up work!!
As I am the main earner, this will be devastating finacially for us.
All because she has fallen out with a few women for going on a night out without her.
I am so scared and angry but have no idea what I can do. Am I being selfish to expect my Mum to watch them when she said she would? She has never mentioned anything about it being a temporary arrangement.
...also it looks like from what I've heard today, that she will be offered the job and start in 2 weeks time.
