π₯ I just found out that my caregiver (babysitter) for the summer will not be there for my son.
That means that come June 13th I won’t be able to work all for the whole summer exeprt those 6 days that my son will go to camp. That means no income what so ever for me.
I don’t know what I’m going to do.
I don’t see a peny from my boyfriend’s income, he doesn’t help me and I’m on my own. It’s always been this way.
But now I will also lose all my customers and I’ll have to restart from new come September. It took me a while to find enough customers.
I kept on asking her since febuary if she was sure that she could babysit this summer and she was always telling me not to worry that she would not let me down.
What a nice birthday present! π‘
Boyfriend doesn’t even remember it’s my birthday! After 6 years you would think he would remember. Forgets every year.
I feel so much like shit right now. π₯EDIT: Well at least the “copious amounts of poo” made me smile a little π― even though I don’t have anything to be happy about right now.
May 27, 2008 at 1:16 am #707746Aww BDW I’m so sorry that your caregiver has let you down. Is there anyone else who can help out and take her place? *Hugs and good thoughts*
May 27, 2008 at 1:20 am #707747Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear that. I hope it all works out!
May 27, 2008 at 1:25 am #707748That’s awful! Any chance of finding someone else?

May 27, 2008 at 2:21 am #707754Thanks everyone…
no there is no one else to take her place. See my son is handicaped and can have seizures so I can’t hire just about anybody.
Every summer I go through this but the last summers I was still able to make a little bit of money and work when my boyfriend was not working in some mornings. I would go to work really early so by the time I would comeback around 11AM my boyfriend would just be getting up and I would put my son on the toilet and then dress him.
Now I don’t have that option anymore and I also work more then before so more clients and more to lose. π
It’s very hard to find someone to take care of my son.I’m so at lost and can’t stop thinking about no income for the whole summer…thats 12 weeks no income!
PS: Snnnnap, behave! π
May 27, 2008 at 2:30 am #707755I’m sorry BDW. That’s terrible news. I hope something works out for you. π
May 27, 2008 at 2:35 am #707756What type of job do you do BDW?
Is there a way you can be a care giver to another family for the summer?
I really hope you can get something worked out. Your boyfriend sounds like a butthead. I hope he’s supportive to you in other ways. πMay 27, 2008 at 2:43 am #707757Phoenix wrote:What type of job do you do BDW?

I really hope you can get something worked out. Your boyfriend sounds like a butthead. I hope he’s supportive to you in other ways. πI clean houses and commercial places for a living. It’s the only flexible job that I can do while my son is in school. If he is sick I can still rearange my schedule with my clients.
I don’t have an addapted van to bring my son anywhere and he is now 18 years old so he’s too heavy to put in the car. I can’t take care of other children here since it is not safe for children in the area I live or the house for that matter…
My boyfriend is never around to help. His friend Charlee is more important then his girlfriend.
‘Move in with me’ he says, ‘It will be much more easier for you financialy and I’ll be there to help you’ he says…RRRRIGHTTT. πI know Jen… takes “chill pill” with glass of water… π
May 27, 2008 at 3:33 am #707758I was keeping a peice of cake for the absent boyfriend but since he got here and never wished me happy birthday then went to bed I just took the piece of cake out and now enjoying it! I never have dessert…well today I had my fair share of it π
Too bad for him…What is it they say… you snooze you lose? π -
