Question:
Scenario 2 |
Harley is a six-month-old baby who attends Little.ly. His mother, Lindsey, usually picks him up at the end of each day. Occasionally, Harley's father, Jason, picks him up. Harley's mum has a high-pressure job that frequently requires interstate travel. Last week she had to work interstate, so Jason dropped Harley off and picked him up each day. On several of these occasions, Jason was in the company of another woman. They often entered the room holding hands when picking Harley up from the care service. This afternoon, you noticed that some of the other educators had heard about the other woman and were gossiping, saying very unkind things about Harley's mother Lindsey and her consistently leaving her husband alone in preference of her career and interstate travels. This morning, Lindsey returned from her interstate travels and collected Harley from the service. As she was ushering Harley out of the door, she quickly confided in you that she was worried that her husband, Jason, was having an affair with another woman, and she asked if you knew anything of the situation. |
