Mom found a nanny who watched the children after school, but now her ex has a problem with her choice »Twistedsifter

When you raise your children with your ex, you sometimes have to compromise, based on what is best for the children.

What would you do if your ex -mann tried to get you to choose another nanny, but he would not pay for it, even if you know that your current nanny did a great job.

This is the situation in which the mother is in this story, and she doesn't want to give up the nannies who do a great job for her.

Let us read all the details.

My ex and I have 2 children (5 and 7). He has the children every Monday to Friday.

Your school does not have a good program after school.

We let the children go there when we are desperate, but I have a nanny and he picked up his mother most of the time.

My ex was extremely difficult in supporting children. We have been separated for 11 months and he didn't give me a cent.

Jenna could help.

After my ex and I were separated, one of my children's teachers Jenna realized that she mainly worked with single parents and families with low incomes.

Jenna told me that her price is $ 35 an hour if I want her to only work for my family.

I told her I can't afford it, so she offered a second option.

She works for me, but she also makes backup care or finds another family for whom you can work. If she only has my children, I pay her $ 25 an hour. If she has other children (almost every day), I pay her $ 15. I also do some other work for you like basic accounting, write contracts for the other parents to sign them, and write exceptional regulations for you in exchange for the lower price if only we are.

That seems to be a great setup.

We are the only people with whom she works consistently, but she has a list of people who use it when her care goes through after school as a contagious illness.

She usually has additional children at least 3 days a week, but usually closer to 4 or sometimes 5.

She has a routine.

She takes up all children, everyone gets a snack (she offers snack unless the child has an allergy or a special diet), they go to the library in which everyone who has homework does homework, and everyone else read or play quietly.

After homework, go to museums, the Community Pool, Splash Pad, Arcade, the Park, Events in the library, the second snack, then the parents start or she starts handing over the children.

If she can no longer help, Jenna can absorb the gap.

The mother of my ex comes to a point where she cannot watch the children every day, but my ex does not want nanny who observes up to 5 children at the same time.

Jenna is not ready to take several families in my weeks and only my children in the weeks of my ex because she would lose customers if she was not available half of the time.

My ex and I agree that it would be better for the children if we had consistent childcare, but he is not ready to try Jenna, and I can't afford to pay more than I am currently paying.

If he doesn't pay, he cannot choose.

I tried to tell my ex that I will get a different child care if he pays for it, but if not, I will hold on to Jenna.

Now he says I am not ready to work for the children with him, and I will not consider high -quality childcare because I am not ready to pay more than $ 15 an hour.

Now I wonder if I'm wrong because I don't get a new nanny.

No, it sounds like Jenna was doing a great job for the children, no reason to change it now.

Let's see what people say in the comments about Reddit.

Yes, he's crazy.

Your money situation is not his business.

This commentator says it should stand her floor.

This person says the ex has no real say.

Yes, the childcare situation seems to be excellent.

I think he is only looking for ways to stay in your life.
