Lovely cm, she's fab, has looked after ds & dd for about 18mth, dd especially adores her.
But I've now had two instances in one month where she's cancelled at short notice - I've received an email today to say that she can't have the kids on Thurs (becuase she is organising a party for her mum's 60th and is going to be really busy)
I'm self employed and work from home, and, as it happens I don't have anything I desparately need to do, so can accomodate it.
But the email is just telling me she can't have the kids, not asking if it's a problem. I asked her when she wanted to start back to work, and Thurs was the date she gave me.
Coming on top of a similar issue in Dec (when she suddenly realised the day before that her daughter had a consultant appt, so I had to have the kids from 3pm. That one was actually quite inconvenient, & meant I had to work the weekend before Christmas.
So:
- AIBU to be annoyed?
- How do I politely say that I need more notice of changes of plan?
I really don't want to p* her off, but if this becomes a habit, it is going to cause real problems, so I feel like I should be clear with her now that just because I'm SE, I can't always change plans at the last minute....
