Sd mum sending her to school

So we have a 50/50 arrangement with sd mother. We're all key workers but I'm on mat leave. I've just found out that she's sending sd into school on the days we don't have her. I know for a fact she's part time and not in work on these days. So basically she's sending the child to school on her days off. Am I right to be annoyed by this? We have another dc and they're at home with me and new baby. Feel annoyed that sd is going into school mixing and then coming to us with a new baby when sd has no reason to be in school. I know it's not supposed to effect children much Worried about the new strains of this illness and what it might do to a very small baby.

I would just offer to have her instead.

But people are saying it’s none of her business?........🤔🤔🤔🤔

I'm not sure how you can be so sure that your SDs mum is not working?

My friend is constantly told by her ex's new partner that she can wfh (she can't - she has to go in) and that the DD should be at home and not at school. But I bet she tells people that my friend is sending her DD against the rules.

None of your business I think. Unless you're happy to have her 5 days per week. In which case make the offer.

It’s laughable that in the same thread you’ve been told sd’s school schedule is none of your business and you’ve also been told to offer to have her.

If it’s none of your business then the favours are not your business either Smile

I only work 2 days, sometimes 3. Yet I have been asked to send her 5 days to keep the bubbles.

Oh behave of course it's her business 🤣🤣

She’s not allowed to do that. A school is not a baby sitting service. Any school would be very unhappy if they heard they were being used in this way. Very disappointing. If everyone could take this attitude and where would we be then. I’m a keyworker, my son is at school, I try my best to avoid this and it is difficult. But I don’t/won’t take advantage of my sons school or my keyworker colleagues.

Our school are only allowing children with two critical worker parents in, and only on days that they’re working. This is to keep numbers down and keep most people at home as often as possible.

Sorry but school isn’t a paid for childcare service, and to abuse it like this and send your kids when they don’t need to be in there is morally disgusting.
