mum of mindee has said she would be keeping her dd off one day next week..she is aware of contracted hours but is off so keeping her dd with her..fine!
today when she picked dd up she asked if i had made any plans for the day she 'didnt' need me?, i said yes and explained what and she said 'oh'..turns out shed just made an app in afternoon and wanted me to have her, i said i could helpher in morn but had arranged app in afty as she had said i wasnt needed, she was fine and said ok.
then..as her hours differ the week after, i will only be having her dd two days albeit over night meaning 33 hours constant, she said she didnt want to bring her the other days with her being off and family would have her at wekend when she would be working........sooooooooooo...
discussing things with dp tonight and i felt a bit rotton being that she is paying me for my 'day off'from her dd next week, even though she said i wasnt needed, so rang her now and said i would look after her dd and would change my plans, but its too late as shes already canclled, she was lovely about it, but i do feel
then....part two of my saga...her dd is contracted for a certain amount of hours per day.....meaning if she doesnt come three days next week that will be 24 hours paid that she hasnt used...so..instead of saying x amount of hours a day, should i add them together to make a weekly total and take off the overnight hours??????????
my head says no, as it is in her contract and i am able to work(will still be looking after other mindee anyway)shes just keeping her off and i will lose a lot of money, but my soft arsed heart is saying yes??..argh..its never straight forward!
