Stressed out to the max....

I just got an email from the girl we hired to repalce me watching the kids I watch for my mat leave. I wasn't suppose to be going back to work until Feb 8th. Well she emails me and tells me she can't do it anymore and that her last day will be tomorrow so now I totally don't know what to do at all. I can't lift G the little boy yet because of my c-sections so I definately can not watch him.

    I can watch A because she's still under 20lbs and it's only two days a week but I just feel totally shafted with my time with Collin on and I feel like it's my responsiblity to watch them because it's my job.

    But why would you give me only a few days notice now I need to tell G's parents and hopefully they can find someone next week to watch him at least M-Th because Kevin said he'd watch him on friday when he's not working. But man I really hate that I checked my email tonight before going to bed. Seriously I thought I found someone that was reliable and now here I sit!

Blah!!!

    Why is she going through you?  I would think the parents would be the ones to hire her because she'll be watching their kids.  I don't know the back story but I think the parents should be the ones responsible for finding a replacement (maybe with your help if you know anyone).  You're on maternity leave and I think that time home with your son is important and you should feel obligated to come back before your agreed upon date.

    Honestly I wouldn't worry about it. She needs to communicate with the parents that she can't watch them and make arrangements with them because you are out on leave and do not return to work until Feb 8th. If I were you I wouldn't cut your time short with Collin or your healing. You need to get your rest and into some kind of "routine" with Collin before you go back to work.

    I'm sorry.  That really sucks.  I hope you can figure something out so that you can spend some more time with Collin and heal from your c-section.

    OMG I am soooo very sorry!!!!  What a Biatch that she couldn't pick up the phone and call you.  She emailed you saying she can't watch the kids.  Umm what if you hadn't checked your emails for another week?  You just had a baby.  She is SUPER inconsiderate!!!!!!!!!

    I totally agree with this!  

    And Amanda feels like it's her problem because she helped find this girl and thought she was going to work out for the short time, so since she found her she feels like it's her fault :(  I understand that part of it, but I don't understand why she wouldn't say something to the others too!  You're in no shape to be watching them right now!  Hopefully you'll find a solution!
