My CM has found a lump in her breast which obviously she's worried sick about and has booked herself an appointment at a private hospital for Tuesday, she's told me this, not asked if it's ok iyswim. Now I know i'd be worried to death about finding a lump but I really cannot take this time off and DH would be unpaid which we can't afford. I don't want to sound like a heartless cow but she had Friday off at short notice for an uncles funeral and now this, would it be completely awful to ask her to rebook for Wednesday ?

JOB not joy.

And you haven't been fired, and you couldn't be fired. No sense at all.

You don't make her redundant if she's a childminder! She gets another client! Anyway you are starting a new joy on the 11 September....

That would solve my problems to jessica - perhaps I could email her the link and then you can all concole her once she's been made redunant.

The poster does remeind me very much of another poster, but the details don't match up.

Bibliophile · 03/09/2006 17:53

This is mad. YOu have no alternative but to give your CM notice if she can't change her appointment....but you start another job on the 18th. Troll or not, this makes NO sense.

I have children to bath, read to and sing songs with.

Lets hope the childminder reads this and refuses to open the door tomorrow morning.

This is all sounding like another poster who would pose a difficult problem with increasingly unlikey combinations of events conspiring to create an inordinately long and heated thread. Ringing a bell for anyone else?

jessicaandrebeccasmummy · 03/09/2006 17:49

so the cm means more right now because she is potentially very sick, but you still want her to change an appointment to suit you.

i think the fact that you say your kids come second to her AT ALL is wrong.... very wrong.

Jessica - because right now none of my family are ill, so right now today, she's important if any of my kids get ill they'll jump over her but they are fine and she has a lump in her breast.

its the wanting your CM to change her appointment you should be ashamed of

jessicaandrebeccasmummy · 03/09/2006 17:46

she's top of the list yet you want her to change a VITAL appointment for YOUR benefit

I'm utterly ashamed of myself that I have wasted hours of my life explaining my childs behaviour, our finances and the nanny's health issues with you all.
I wish I could delete the whole threat, what a waste of everyones time.

Who ever said she was a troll was probably right .

jessicaandrebeccasmummy · 03/09/2006 17:44

why is she top of your list and not your family?

The CM wouldn't be required if I start the other job.

Actually you know I hope she is a mumnetter because all I have tried to do is the right thing for everyone involved with her at the top of the list and Kathy would know that.

Sorry, this is all not adding up now. Hmmm. I wish I hadn't wasted any time trying to think of a solution, I think we're in fantasy land here now. Or inconsistent land at the very least.

If you are into attachment parenting why are you leaving her with anyone at all when you can afford not to.

jessicaandrebeccasmummy · 03/09/2006 17:42

so why are you fretting - you obviously have a job lined up for next week anyway.

so wheres the issue if you get laid off at the end of your probation?!

hunkermunker · 03/09/2006 17:41

If you're only worried about being in employment and not the job itself, I don't see your problem then.
