Youngest DD baby is now 6 months old and booked into Nursery in July when Mum goes back to work, Nursery days are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. DD has just received Jury attendance letter for a week in mid July and asked partner to look after baby on the Monday and Friday of that week to cover her and was shocked at his reply “I would rather not take 2 precious leave days off as would prefer to use them to go on holiday with baby and you, can’t you find a Child Minder for those days?”.
DD pointed out that you cannot get Child Minders to do odd days and baby needs someone familiar i.e. family. DH and myself have told DD that we would do it, but try first to find a solution together, and if all else fails we will travel to London to help.
Is it reasonable to think “someone else can do it”? Or even a consideration?
