Hi I have just sat down to do my accounts from last week which was the first week of having all mindees full time as half term and I have just realised they cost me a fortune
The amount of fruit juice, fruit and food in general they got through was amazing not including amount I spent on petrol going out.
I think the problem is I also had my ds who loves all fruit and juice and as he is only 20 monmths I don't like to tell him he can't have something when at the mo he is such a good eater. The thing is he doesn't drink water only fruit juice and so I don't feel I can say to mindees you have to have water when ds has juice. Also he loves strawberries but they are quite expensive especially when you end up getting through almost a whole punnet on your mindees, how can I give them to him and not to them though? Sometimes I say they can't have them as there is not enough to share fairly but I don't think it is fair that my ds should have to go without either. Before you all tell me to wait until they go home to give to ds I can't they are here til 6 most days and then he goes straight in the bath and to bed What should I do to stop them costing me so much? Please help
