she has finally driven me to give notice

[thebody]

I have been minding a smashing little boy for 2 years in that time mum has,

presented me with 7 bounced cheques,

no suncream or hat,

forgets nappies,

wants me to potty train but puts him in nappies on the days she has him,(his brother told me),

never ever pays full amount on Friday, every excuse in the book but always manages to have hair and nail extensions,

kicked out 3 partners in the time I have known her and sent unknown men to pick child up.. always refuse to hand him over and tell her unaccepatable behaviour,

texts me to ask if I can pick him up and drop home (f its a school holiday as she cant be arsed to get out of bed to bring him)

I feel so sad saying goodbye to him but enough is enough.

wwyd

poor little boy

You did the right thing.

Poor child .

yes give notice for your own sanity it must be stressful not getting paid properly and getting rubber cheques etc.

shame for the little boy though but not a great deal you can do for him

poor boy but yes I agree, get rid

Chin up x x x

Are you concerned enough about her parenting to talk to social services?

thanks ladies for the support, feel so awful for the little chap but I honestly feel so angry with her that its not healthy.

thanks again

YeahBut.. no I cnat honestly say she mistrates him or that she doesnt even love him.. I know she does.. its just she loves herself a little bit more...

That is really sad, but I think you are wise to let him go while he IS still a lovely little boy. He will need a lot of strength of character not to be influenced by the example he is being shown.

It is bad not to send suncream/hat/nappies etc
I know we all forget - me included - which is why nurseries have spares but just to nott do it

poor wee chappie

but yes you have to think about yourself and had to give notice
