Not sure if the 2 families leaving early know that I'm keeping the 2 others for longer. I just wanted my last month to be easier.
    ~Oh, I see...I think. That's about 3 weeks from now? So it's either term now and she has 8 or so weeks to find other care or term after your leave and she has 5 or so weeks(I'm like Teen Talk Barbie "math class is tough" for me too):confused:? If this particular family we're talking about is difficult & stressful for you in other ways, that makes a difference and factors into the decision. Otherwise, I just also wanted to add this...

    I don't think it matters when you tell her she's termed as long as you give her enough notice, and you are. I don't think it matters when you knew you wanted to term her, or how long you've known you were going to term her as long as you give her enough notice, and you are. Whether you term now or you wait until your leave, you are giving her plenty of time. *You're not being deceitful in any way if you decide to wait to term during your leave*. This is a business, your business, and it's a business decision...nothing personal. You have to run it in your best interest and if that means not telling her she's termed until a certain time, then there's nothing wrong with that...If that means you term now, then there's nothing wrong with that either. *I see no harm coming to mom if you do decide to wait and term on your maternity leave*. I would try not to feel guilty about telling her before now as it's not like you had any malicious intent...in fact, it's your good nature that has made this such a difficult decision for you in the first place; you're doing the best you can and it's good .
