Hi my child is in alternative provision which is a tutor 2 hours a day (weekday) every day. Whilst we wait for tribunal. The la asked if I would like a mentor which I said yes but realistically im not sure that would work. I would like to take any support offered but that would mean every day after I drop my other kids to school by bus, taking her to the library on another bus (where I have to sit and wait with them for 2 hours) then straight after getting another 2 buses to the mentor place and waiting there for another 2 hours? (There’s no direct bus) Every day. Not sure if I can wait in the place but it’s freezing outside and I don’t want to walk aimlessly around the shops either for 2 hours every day. Am I being selfish to feel like this is a bit too much? Then 2 buses back to collect my other kids from school which im not sure I’d even make it back on time. How would anyone keep up with that? I thought the mentor would collect her from my house? Would I look awful if I said no to this as it’s a bit much. I don’t get a break anyway as im a lone parent so I find it already difficult sitting with the tutor every day when she should be at school. If I decline this would it look bad?
