I explained that it was becoming too much for me and I could no longer do it. I also told the husband and he said “ Oh, no problem. We will like something else up”. It kind of makes me think her husband wasn’t looped into our previous conversation about me not watching the baby.
I want to mention that they can afford childcare. I’m certain we make a little more, but they both make good money and can afford it. She was worried about using childcare in the pandemic. We live on the same block so it made sense.
I’m glad to know it was over. I now know to never do it again. We were never true friends. I’ve watched one of my good friends kids on occasion when their nanny canceled and it was nothing like this. Now I know for the future. Thanks for all of the advice!
I'm proud of you OP. Seriously - great job for prioritizing your child and your personal well-being.
