[quote=Anonymous]I finally found a weekend childcare situation (which I need for work). It is affordable, I like the lady, and my son loves it too. I mentioned to the care giver (who is grandma aged) that I need someone with flexible hours during the week as well, and she recommended her daughter's good friend ( who is late 20s). The friend came over once while I was dropping off my son. She was really nice.  We didn't click on account of our strong personalities.  But she is way stronger than me- kind of overbearing.  After the meeting I asked her rate-it was way higher than I can afford. I texted her back that I could try to swing it if we reduce the hours and she agreed.  Well every day since then I've been trying to make it work, but bottom line is I cannot afford her.  And not only that, it's not an ideal personality match, so I don't feel enthusiastic about cutting back on other things to afford her.

My son is being assessed for speech issues later this month with the county. I was thinking of just telling her I cannot afford her, but should I soften the blow by saying I have to pay for private speech or something?  Whatever happens I just don't want to piss her off. She has that strong personality, and I don't want her saying bad things about me to the care giver who gave me the recommendation.

So should I tell a white lie (that may end up being true) to counter any bad feelings? [/quote]
