Ready to Give Up

[sharlan]

My new baby was supposed to start today and she's a no-show. I've called the mother, no response. I'm just hoping that they are running late and Mom can't answer because she's driving.

[sharlan]

Not only that, but my family who's last day was yesterday, never called, never showed up. I texted Mom, no response.

That's aweful, I really don't understand how people can be that way. At LEAST you deserve a phone call. I hope the babies mom contacts you.

Has she signed a contract and given you the deposit and 1st weeks payment? If she hasn't then that's probably why. I bet if she had paid it in full she'd be there on time if not earlier than scheduled. I hope she shows up soon and that she's just running late .

She ended up showing up about 45 mins ago. She didn't answer the phone because she was driving and thought it was her dh.

Her older kids were giving her a hard time this morning because they wanted to know where the baby was going and they wanted to go too. They are in a preschool.

Contract is signed and 1st week's payment made. She paid the full week even though she'll only be here 2 days this week.

So far, so good. She's had a couple of moments of crying. I know it will be an adjustment for her.

[MarinaVanessa]

The baby was such a sweetheart today. She crawled around and did her own thing, ate really well, AND took a 2 1/2 hr nap. I woke her up because Mom asked that she not be allowed to sleep past 2:30-3:00.

It was nice to just have her and my 5 yo today. I got to spend a lot of one on one.

So happy that it worked out for you!
Also, I will trade your baby for my baby! I watch a 5 (almost 6) month old that SCREAMS. All. Day. Long. Unless I'm holding him. I can't even put him in a pack n play for nap time, as soon as I put him on him down he wakes up and screams. And then screams some more!
