frustrated

I don't post here often but I need to vent to a group who may understand and perhaps even offer some advice. I have a 4 year old DS and my DD is 13 months. My stepmother is amazing ans has been the primary grandmother that they have known. My son has only ever spent the night with my dad and stepmother and that's where he always asks to go if we need a sitter for odd reasons. Well 2 and half years ago I took a new job that requires me to work four 8 hour shifts during the day and I was not going to take it as I worked nights previously allowing me not to need daycare. My stepmother encouraged me to take the day position and offered to take my son on Mondays to help with daycare costs and help to break up my sons week some. After my DD was born she started watching her as well on Mondays and I thought all was going well; she has had some Mondays off for appts ect. But always says she.missed them that week ect.
Today she texts me and says she has so.many errands to do she can't get it all done with the kids. I asked if she wanted me to get out early and she said no she was all set. She does work also Tues through Friday odd hours so I am sure she has errands to run. She is 47 so still young and busy...
Point of the vent is after I.picked them up today I got home and sent her a text thanking her again and she replied that she is frusterated that the kids don't really like riding and she feels like she can't get anything done. I asked her if she wants me to look for someone else on.Mondays and she replied that she thinks it may be best :. I am sad about this. I can pay daycare more and ask her to take them... I know.worse things could happen I just didn't see this coming??? I know she.is.young and busy but I wonder whyvthe sudden change of heart. She works 11 to 5 Tues through Friday so I guess I figured she had plenty of.time to not feel tied down by having them one day : . Please don't mind the grammar and spelling I'm mobile!

I completely understand where you're coming from! My sister and my mom were keeping my DS for me...my mom on m w f, and my sister on tu thu. Well my sister got pregnant very shortly after I went back to work. I knew the time would come when I'd have to

Thanks ladies! What a rambling mess that was to read through. I am glad she was so direct and told me I guess it just stinks!!! Time to stop sulking and start planning!
