Ok I don't know what to do.
I just told all of my daycare parents that I am pregnant, and that nothing will really change, except that I will close when the baby is born and my backup person, my best friend, will be here to cover my appointments. Well, my friend watched the kids for 2 appointments. I gave her a list of 3 upcoming appointments. The first one she said she can't do. The other two, she said she would have to check with her husband. She is a SAHM, and her husband Is a teacher, so they get to spend all summer together. When she lost her job and became a SAHM, she said she needed to come over at least 2 times a week so her daughter can socialize. Now she has met a bunch of neighbors for play dates and doesn't "need" me and my daycare kids as playmates. Her times coming over are fewer and fewer. She agreed to be my backup person, but I feel like if she has to ask her husband every time, I am going to end up screwed. I don't know what to do. I kept reassuring my dcps that I would be available. I cannot afford to lose any families. What do I do?
