CM Club - Told most parents I'm pregnant - what about this one..............

[LOONEYplayingachristmasTUNEy]

Morning

I've got a lady round the corner whose baby is due to start with me in January/February. I need to let her know I'm pregnant now, explain that I'm only planning on taking a few weeks off etc. and let her decide whether or not she still wants to come (bearing in mind that from when I start again after baby born around June/July, I would then have to have variation granted from OFSTED in order to continue to have her lo).

The last communication we had I suggested we get together for coffee end Nov/early Dec to discuss her getting to know me more in advance (can't actually have baby much before starting due to my numbers).

I'm now wondering do I a) email her to explain the situation or b) arrange for her to come round and then tell her then? The thing is, I want to tell her sooner rather than later and I get the impression she MAY not arrange to come over for a couple of weeks.

WWYD? I will be offering her the deposit back if she chooses not to use me as I understand totally if she chooses not to come to me.

TIA

I think I'd email her and let her know first. if she's still interested then she can arrange to come and see you to get to know you.

Congratulations

Cheers Dusty, that's what I thought, sort of seems like being a coward but if she comes and I tell her then she's not happy, she may feel that I've wasted her time coming over iyswim

were all your parents pleased for you?
best to e-mail the new parent to explain

just to confuse you and throw in another option - could you catch her on the phone? it might 'feel' a bit more personal than an email but it isn't getting her round if that will take a while to arrange
