Why the panic about childcare? Did she not know the summer break was coming up? Does she think the schools would decide to stay open for her? What the hell does she think other parents do? I’m fairly sure most working parents are organised by now, even with Covid in the mix.
it’s called PLANNING Sarah. You know how you obsess over carpet details, and spend hours sorting that? Maybe spend time sorting sensible childcare plans and making sure your work days are covered and that your kids doing stuff that’s good for them during the holidays (because lord knows you don’t know how to parent so at least send them to childcare that will look after them and stimulate them and entertain them)
I suspect she has no friends locally, to do childcare swaps with. But surely there are day camps and activities locally to her? A local childminder?
The kids will be in Scotland by the weekend til some time in August now, from Friday I bet… at least they’ll get decent food and attention from grandparents.
she pisses me off.
