Yea, that. Seems strange to only call the child minder the day before she was going back to work after more than a year out.Was this truly a surprise to the mother? Had she been in contact with the sitter prior to the past few days? Was there no indication at all that money would be an issue?
New career?Here I am since 8.30am minding two kids (I know both from the road and we get along well with them). Mrs Lep and I don't mind and we are planning how to entertain them over the next few days at least.
There's worse things that could happen... I can't think of them off the top of my head but I'm sure there are.The experience is enjoyable so far with the elder boy already turning into me.
But, some of you must now be experiencing the same (and my heart goes out to you, I kid you not). How are you handling it?
Lep could pop round and see Simon Kathleen might be available after all she was minister for Children and out of a job at present,Leper - You're living in County Rebel, right?
Reason for asking is that maybe the poor childminder may not have realised that she was being offered a job again - maybe she thought she had just been offered a concept.
Yes, the mother and father know about our dogs.Does the two boys mother know you have Adolf and Winston,
I would not trust either of them to be honest,
Including arranging Babysitters in good time before returning to work,The cities mainly have people who do things online, arrange other things by appointment and live a more organised life.
I still don't know what it means.When I glanced at the Acronym TFH
I enjoy a laugh and like the occasional humour on this forum. For the record I can laugh at myself. But, there are two Irelands i.e one which is organised and the other which is organised flippantly (or if you wish disorganised). My sister lives in rural Ireland and she can ordernearly anything from nearly anybody merely by shouting across the street e.g. fuel, car-service, groceries, etc. Even joining the cub-scouts for her children was initialised by a shout across the street to a scout leader.
The cities mainly have people who do things online, arrange other things by appointment and live a more organised life. Something happens e.g. what I described above and suddenly they don't know where to turn. I bet there are many in the same position as our neighbours. We have no problem minding the two boys and the memories keep flooding back to us. Mrs Lep made one mistake on Friday, she bought two GAA jerseys for the boys which had the colours of our local club. The dad supports another GAA team in Cork and tried to smile through his disbelief. Well, we're not perfect!
. . . . and Peemac, we have two dogs of our own (Adolf and Winston) which is enough for us at the moment. Apologies for not being able to help you at the moment.
Yes you can. So can I but for a different reason; I work on the 'if you can't beat them join them' maxim.For the record I can laugh at myself.
