A friend of mine has had issues with her daughter and her school that have resulted in her removing her daughter from school and is now struggling yo get her into another senior school as they are massively over subscribed in our area. She asked me months ago if i would consider doing some tutoring with her dd so she didn't fall too fat behind. I have a background in teaching and have done work with her before to help her as her dd has sen but her primary school refused to statement her and trying to do it here without the schools input is a minefield and backlogged.
We have arranged 2-3 sessions and each time at the last minute friend rings to say her dd has been invited to X,Y/Z and can we reschedule. Each time I say yes no problem as I understand that there are other issues surrounding her dd's confidence etc that is just as important to resolve buy I am getting a little bit miffed at putting in work amd arranging childcare just to find out minutes before she is due here or I am due at hers that it's all been cancelled
Would I be a complete bitch to say actually if you and dd don't see the importance then I am not prepared to keep putting myself out. I font have readily available childcare so end up paying for a babysitter for my dd and having to pay even though I am then cancelling or picking up early.
